CrameRomania.ro is a bilingual online database of Romanian wineries, created and developed out of passion for wine and visits to wineries.
Since 2013 we’ve visited over 70 wineries in Romania, getting to know this wonderful land and its people, and we’ve made maps of wine-growing zones to help those interested in finding out more about these areas.
Our objective is to develop wine tourism and to expand travelers curiosity and appreciation for Romanian wines, wineries and vineyards.
Furthermore, in 2015 we started developing the Revino.ro Project, a website which offers wine lovers and drinkers all the information they need to discover wine routes and visit wineries. Those interested can find out more about wine tourism and wines to drink on every occasion.
In 2016, I organized the first “ReVino – Bucharest Wine Fair", where wine lovers and experts came to taste premium wines and discover how to visit a winery directly from the winery's representatives.
