“We had the most AMAZING day ever!!! We thoroughly enjoyed the fact that this trip was both a cultural experience and a food tour. We started off with a little bit of the countries history and Bogdan was very knowledgeable and his English was tremendous. We found out all sorts of facts about both the country and the city. We got to try all sorts of traditional foods from smaller establishments and the markets which made this tour truly authentic.

Bucharest: Romanian Wine and Food Pairing Experience

11.Romanian Wine and Food Pairing Experience

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 23 reviews · 2 hours · from $62

Taste five Romanian wines with local cheeses, salami, zacuscă, and bread during a relaxed two-hour Bucharest pairing.

“I paid for the wine and food pairing but only received some cubes of cheese with crackers and no other food to pair with the wines. I didn't receive anything with the first wine so asked the sommelier about the pairings and he said he would bring the snacks later so they would last for all of the wines. As he brought the second wine he brought the cheese and crackers. That was the only food I received, not what was advertised when I booked it. I believe I got the experience that I would have received if I'd just booked the wine tasting rather than the food pairing experience…”

Enjoyed both the hands-on cooking experience and the interesting talks we had (got the chance to practice my Romanian language skills, but they are both fluent English speakers). The food we prepared was very tasty. You also get the recipes so you will be able to prepare them at home. If you are in Bucharest this HIGHLY RECOMMENDED both for solo travellers and for couples. Make sure you come hungry.”
