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
One of the most amazing food tours we have ever been on. It was a balance of amazing food and a great overview of Bucharest history. It is hard fully appreciate the food without an understanding of the historical elements that have shaped the cultural and culinary map.
Great tour! The guide was eager to accomodate to our needs, offering a great experience in Brasov and giving insights to the ins and outs of life in the city -and the country. Great homemade meal and the conversation flowed perfectly. It felt like being with friends. Would totally recommend. If (should I say "when") we go back to Romania we'll book another experience with "Romanian friend".
We loved the tour. Robert was an amazing guide with so much historical knowledge to help us understand where we were and how the various foods came to be. We loved the places he chose and the informative walk through the city. We highly recommend this tour to get an introduction to Cluj and its amazing foods.
Robert, our guide, was fabulous! We had a lovely time learning about and sampling a wide variety of Romanian food. He was a joy to spend some time with, strongly recommend! He also gave some great historical context to tie everything together.
