Did you know that in 50BC the Dacian King Burebista was forced to give a law to restrict the wine plantations through his empire (old Dacia was conquered in 106AC by the Romans)?
Did you know that Romania has about 10 grape sorts that you can’t find any where else in the world? Those are just a couple of reasons to come and explore Romanian wine culture.
