Wine Tasting in Bucharest
Abel's wine bar
Great way to spend an afternoon. Paolo was very knowledgeable and a wonderful host. The wines along with the meat & cheese plates were excellent. Definitely worth doing.
A great experience. Not to be missed. Beautiful wines, a brief explanation of where the wine is from and an exceptionally good cheese board.

A Great Intro to Romanian Wines
Shahron_v
, Jun 2022
A very attentive wine steward who offered detailed explanations about each wine's origin, using a map of the wine-growing regions as well. He also responded in detail to questions. That said, I would have enjoyed it more if there had been others on the tour. The wine steward said that tours are busy in the evenings, whereas my tour was in the early afternoon. Perhaps this tour should only be offered in the evenings.

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.

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
Antigoni
, Mar 2020
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 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.

I did this tasting the last day of my trip. I arrived at the bar and Claudio was very pleasant. I sat at the bar since I did this trip solo and wanted to be near the bartenders. The tasting was great and the owners even better. They made my last night in Bucharest fun. I had enough wine to enjoy each one and wished that I could've taken a couple of bottles home. The meat and cheese plate was great as well. I was starving and they made my plate as soon as I got there. I highly recommend this activity. The place is very lively and packed. So get there early.. Thank you again for a fantastic evening..

Das Ambiente war schön und die 5 Weine gut. Leider wurde lediglich auf einer Karte den Anbauort der Trauben gezeigt. Den Rest hätte man auch vom Ettikett ablesen können. Ansonsten hat sich der Wirt nicht um uns geschert.

Très bon accueil, explications sur chaque vin 5 au total avec du très bon et du un peu moins mais toujours correct, un plateau de charcut/fromage correct. On a passé un très bon moment avec notre groupe de 8. Le lieu est chaleureux, sans prétention, cool. Super activité pour une fin d'après-midi : Recommandé !
