“People who discover Romanian wines are astounded at their quality.”
Swiss Ambassador to Romania Jean-Hubert Lebet quoted in news agency Agerpress, 4 June 2014

“The wines we tasted were absolutely fantastic! Romanian wine is definitely underrated.” (Jeroen, Belgium)

“Unlike most wine tastings and tours in the states, this tour was incredibly personal and detailed, introducing us to every step of the wine making process and even letting us taste wine from the barrel at different stages.”(Adrienne, US)
