This was a great place to begin our time in Bucharest. Our host Dario was excellent and knowledgeable, and the wine was wonderful. They were very generous with a meat and cheese board as well.
Response from Host, Oct 2026
Thank you so much 🍷🍷
Dario was Wonderfull! Great explanations about the wines regions and origin! We really enjoy our time! Very recommended!
We have tried 5 wines from different regions of Romania. It was all explained to us in great detail. The presenter answered all our questions. We also had very generous platter of food to go with wines. The atmosphere was very nice.
The owner was super sweet and knowledgeable. The wines were absolutely amazing and the meat and cheese plate was delicious. Would highly recommend this tasting!
Such a great experience so glad we booked it. Such knowledgeable friendly and helpful guy made us very welcome and made a very enjoyable experience.
The wine tasting took place at Abel’s wine bar near the old town. The wines were very good, and it was interesting to heat about the different wine producing regions, and background on each sample. The food was very good too.
The host was charming and explained about the different indigenous grapes and the regions of the country where the vineyards were located. It helped that they had a map as well. Since all the tastings were in a single location, we didn’t have to walk to different locations and had time to relax and enjoy the wines and charcuterie. A good start to our time in Bucharest.
Great experience, our speaker was very impressed letting us know about the wines and the history. The location of the bar was very nice and the bar was lots of fun. Great tour, thanks
Dario was very informative about the 5 wines we tasted. He told us about the region in Romania where the grapes were grown. The charcuterie platter was wonderful.
Held at Abel's wine bar the gentleman gave an excellent description of every wine tasted where it came from ant the grape variety. We we given plenty of time to try each wine (2 x white 1 x rose 2 X red) along with a selection of meat and cheeses a pleasant experience all round very relaxing and enjoyable. Highly recommended.
A great little wine bar that offers tastings, a great selection of wines and very professional staff.
Great experience. Friendly and knowledgeable staff, good wines, and cute little bar. We even made a new friend :-)
Perfect introduction to Romanian wines. The wine bar was a great venue. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable about the products. We enjoyed trying new grape varieties. The cheese and wine platter was tasty and complimented the wines.
Excellent wine tasting with Dario. The three wine pairings with snacks was wonderful! It was a great activity!!!
This was simply an amazing experience. I was the only one on this tour and it was one of the highlights of my Bucharest visit. I was generous quantities of wine and the charcuterie board. There was no rush and I was given enough time to really enjoy this experience!
Thank you so much for being an amazing host, and also for the spicy jam! Highly recommend this tour!
A wonderful experience delivered by a very knowledgable team - it was great to learn about the geography of the country via wine tastings.
I was given a warm welcome, then poured a lovely selection of Romanian wines from native grape varieties. It was a great introduction to varieties and regions I previously knew nothing about, but will certainly be looking for in the future!
The tasting was two hours, although I'm sure I could have stayed for longer if I had wanted. I was encouraged to take my time trying the generous servings along with a nice selection of cheeses and meats.
This is well worth booking if, like me, you love wine but are not familiar with Romanian wines.
This was easily the nicest bar I visited in Bucharest. Not at all touristy. I was the only one doing a tasting but that didn't detract from the experience. Was given interesting explanations for each wine, then allowed time to enjoy them while nibbling the generous portion of cheeses and cold meats.
If I was a local, I'd be a regular in this bar. Book this experience, it's a couple of hours well spent.
Fabulous evening. Our first night in the city. Relaxed atmosphere. A range of Romanian wines (five in total) and a delicious cold meats and cheese platter. Our host gave us lots of information about the wines, grapes and regions. Highly recommend.
My husband was not feeling great, but the tour was very accommodating of the time changed. When we got there, he was still not feeling well so we ended up leaving without the cheese and wine tasting. To make up for it, the owner accommodated and offered make up days but we didn’t have any free time. Overall, we appreciate his compassion and understanding and gave us a couple bottles of wine that we didn’t get to taste. Very nice of him!
It was a fabulous experience with a beautiful selection of wines and excellent customer service. Selection of cheese, bread and chutney accompanied the wines which was an added bonus. We felt welcomed with some mellow music to set the tone. We would definitely go again! 2 of us attended.
Just wonderful. Who knew Romania is a major wine producer? We learned so much and enjoyed our evening at Abel’s. Definitely an unexpected must-do.
The host was very friendly and he provided very good info about the Romanian wines. The cheese&meats platter is very good, it also comes with an amazing chilli jam.
Excellent wine tasting with a real specialist who knew what he was talking about. Generous pours and excellent wines. Warm recommendation
Nice atmosphere. The host was knowledgeable about the wines he chose. He provided a map of the eine regions in Romania and chose wines from different regions. The pours were generous and a charcuterie board was provided. We were given ample time to enjoy each wine.
An excellent experience savouring a wide variety of Romanian wines that we would otherwise not have tasted
Cozy atmosphere and a great host! Dario was incredible in presenting the wines. Food they offer to pair with wines is amazing and ranges from variety of hams, cheeses and a delicious bruschetta! Wines they present are carefully chosen and satisfy any taste!
Abel's Wine bar is in old Town and was a quaint small venue. Our guide provided an overview of the wines, regions and varietals. Learned a lot and the selections were good. Cheese and meat platter contained some local cheeses/meats along with international ones. Our only word of "warning" was it was 5 full pours and not little tastings! But, we struggled through 😀 they also did not rush us at all, so we enjoyed a very leisurely afternoon. We were also able to buy a bottle to enjoy later
Great atmosphere, friendly host, good info about Romanian wines. Wines were very good and the food plentiful. Had a lot of fun with the other guests as well.
The wine was amazing, very knowledgeable on where the wine came from. What to expect with the wine and what pairs best with it. Charcuterie had great flavors. If you go alone, it's a full meal.
