Food & Wine Tours
You probably didn't know this, but Romanians love eating and drinking!
Benefiting from rich, fertile lands and a strong rural lifestyle and history, Romanian cuisine is dominated by products and dishes made with peasant (farmer) food: garden vegetables, livestock meat, dairies, nuts and fruits, all transformed into delicious dishes such as sarmale, _ciorba_ (sour soup), stews, cured meats, matured cheeses, fruity cakes or jams! What's more, Romanian gastronomy drew heavy influences from its neighbours, particularly Hungarian, Turkish or Slavic, so you will find some similarities or even familiar adaptations.

Reviews about Food & Wine Tours
Marius at Romanian Friend suggested this when I told him about our plans and we loved it, it was the highlight of our family trip in Romania! the guide was very friendly and took us to places we would have never found on our own, or thought about going to, and gave us a nice presentation of the other side of Bucharest. and the food was great too! a real off-the-beaten path experience, thanks!
Very nice tour with our Romanian friend Mihai. Felixibel attitude, interesting information and nice food.
We greatly enjoyed our food walking tour! By far the best day we spent on our visit to Bucharest! So many tasty things and super well organized.
**A cultural insight into history, neighbourhoods and food with a well-informed and personable guide** Bogdan met us outside the National Theatre with snacks and talked us through the relevant history of Bucharest and Romania which we needed for context of our visit through inner-city neighbourhoods and then onto a delightful, low-key restaurant for a platter of local foods. We then caught the tram to the food market where Bogdan talked us through the various produce/provenance and bought fresh fruits/dessert to accompany our last stop at a super-popular sausage/meat stand next to the market. We sat down and enjoyed the sausages/fruit/baclava and local beer. Before catching the tram back, Bogdan bought delicious doughnuts. All highly recommended! Thank you Bogdan!
