Wine Tasting in Bucharest
Abel's wine bar
We had no expectations going into the wine tasting. It was booked based on previous TripAdvisor reviews. I have to say that it's the best wine tasting we have done in a long time... And we've done a few. The atmosphere is very relaxed, the knowledge is great but best of all is the wine. Romanian wine is a delight but without Abel's knowledge we'd have had no idea!

Unfortunately, this...
Callie_W
, Jan 2022
Unfortunately, this experience wasn’t much of a tasting but more of a wine flight. We received very large and generous pours and the server was very friendly. However, the only information we received was region, year, and alcohol percentage. We also had tasted better Romanian wine elsewhere. We were expecting a more informative and engaging wine tasting experience.

A lovely afternoon

This was just a really pleasant way to spend a couple of hours in a Bucharest afternoon right in the old town. The host was very friendly, and the cheese and wine was lovely. I left with a real smile on my face to wander into the old town for dinner.

An experience worth tasting

The waiter was very polite and friendly, smiling all the time. He was willing to tell us the story of each wine separately while showing us the vineyards' locations on the map. We didn't like all the wines (probably it's a matter of each one's personal taste) and the cheese plate could be a bit better. Overall, we recommend it if you want to spend a cozy evening and experience something out of the ordinary.

Abel's wine bar is a very nice stop. He explained the region the wines were from and determined our tastes in wine. From there we were given samples to try. It was very interesting how different the tastes were from each region.

The wine tasting was really fun...

The wine tasting was really fun. The owner of the wine bar provided details of where each wine came from and some history about the country. It was a bit of a challenge to find the wine bar, but not crowded.
