Leave the ring road behind and the DN1B unwinds toward Prahova’s soft ridges: in roughly 70–90 minutes, Bucharest gives way to Dealu Mare’s vine-striped slopes. On the southern flank of the Carpathians, elevations of 300–450 m, clay‑limestone soils and marked day–night swings have favored Fetească Neagră since the 19th century. Around Valea Călugărească, Tohani and Ceptura, estates such as Lacerta, SERVE (founded 1994) and Budureasca lead Romania’s modern red revival, with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot often resting in Romanian oak.
The day stays flexible: hotel pick‑up in Bucharest with your Amani Limousines private chauffeur, a Mercedes at your disposal, chilled water on board, and pacing adjusted to your tastes. He drives, you taste. Start with cellar and vineyard tours, sit down to a pre‑booked estate lunch (90–120 minutes), then a second visit to compare terroirs and vintages. Transfers between wineries take 10–25 minutes, leaving room for the historic Bellu cellars in Urlați or a photo stop on the Gura Vadului hills.
