The vineyard of Catleya is located in Corcova, a small village located in the Oltenia region of Romania. Corcova has a rich history. It was during the Belle Époque period in Paris that Prince Antoine Bibesco, Marcel Proust and their friends were tasting the Corcova wines, while evoking the pear flowers of this mythical place.
However the aura of Corcova is present in his writings and Bibesco was the inspiration of one of the main characters in the novel In search of the lost time. In Marcel Proust’s renowned masterpiece, the Catleya orchid is a symbol of love.
Since 2007, four French wine enthusiasts fell in love with Corcova and its Proustian aura and chose this symbol to represent the vineyard replanted on the historic site of Bibesco’s domain, and Catleya was born.
The following grape varieties are planted at Catleya: Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Syrah, Fetească Neagra, Fetească Regală, Fetească Albă.
Catleya Winery can only be visited by appointment confirmed in advance at:

CLOS DES COLOMBES WINERY is the result of a crazy dream of Anne Marie Rosenberg, who transformed an old farm located on the shores of the Black Sea into a wine estate.
This French-Romanian, who comes from a long line of Champagne winemakers, created with the help of her faithful team and her son, a favorite place for lovers of good wine and gastronomy.
The word 'CLOS' in CLOS DES COLOMBES is an ancestral tradition. In French, the word "clos" describes a closed vineyard, generally surrounded by a dry stone wall.
The word 'COLOMBES' from CLOS DES COLOMBES represents the past of the domain: an old house with pigeons that we renovated and the pigeons that were in a small number at the beginning, but that grew on the course.

Corcova's winemaking has a long history, that most certainly dates back to the Dacian period. But the first written reference to viticulture is an act dated the 1st July, 1594, signed by Michael the Brave himself.
The vineyard became more famous in the late nineteenth century when its owners were the renowned Bibescu family. Prince Anton Bibescu, well-known in Parisian circles and close friend of Marcel Proust, put Corcova on the map by constructing new cellars and adopting modern winemaking techniques. The young French agronomist, Aristoteles Sauget, planted noble grapes brought from France and, in the Bordeaux style, created the excellent blend "Corcovin", famous in its' time. Meanwhile, the natural beauty of the region made Corcova a favoured holiday destination for Anton and Martha Bibescu and their friends, which included notable talents such as Mihail Sebastian, Ion Pillat and Ion Minulescu.
Corcova Roy & Damboviceanu Winery was founded in 2005, at which time only 18 hectares of the 470 hectares of vines still survived and the original cellars built by Prince Anton Bibescu were in a state of ruin. From 2005 until the present day, 60 hectares have been replanted with French and native noble varieties and the cellars have been completely renovated and modernised with modern machinery and equipment with the support of European Funds for Agriculture and Rural Development.
Located in Mehedinti in southwest Romania, the Corcova vineyard produces wines that have the so-called "gout du terroir", which embodies the rich environment and characteristics of the vineyard. The temperate continental climate with Mediterranean influences - hot, dry summers, mild winters -, combined with soils rich in minerals, give extremely favourable conditions for Corcova's noble vines. The varieties cultivated are the same that thrived during the Bibescu period, plus the new Syrah. Plantings were made from north to south in order to optimise exposure to the sun's warmth and light.
Picking and grape selection at the sorting table are all done by hand. After harvesting, the delicate and lengthy process of transforming grape must into wine follows multiple stages, culminating with maturation in oak barrels. The integrity of the grapes is carefully respected throughout their journey from the vineyard to the final product.
So remember, when you open a bottle of Corcova: an excellent wine is a world in itself. Nature, history, and, above all, people.
Viticola Corcova Company is a beautiful story, a discussion between friends turned into a successful reality. Owned by Michel Roy and Șerban Dâmboviceanu, the business was founded in 2005, when, of the 470 hectares of vines owned by the Corcova IAS, only 18 hectares remained, and the wineries, built by Prince Anton Bibescu at the beginning of the 20th century, were in ruins.
Now the Corcova Roy & Dâmboviceanu vineyard includes 70 hectares on which the traditional varieties of the place, existing even at the time of the Bibești estate, included in the authorized DOC Mehedinți-Corcova varieties: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Pinot Noir, Fetească Neagră, Muscat Ottonel, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, as well as two new varieties, Syrah and Viognier. Also, during 2008-2009, the wineries were completely renovated and modernized, equipped with modern machines and equipment that facilitate processing.
The winery is open for visits from Monday to Friday from 8 am to 5 pm, and on weekends only for groups of at least 10 people (with prior reservation).

Crama DeMatei means a unique terroir that stretches over 80 hectares around the two hills, Tegăneanu and Zorilor, on which grows a vine that is over 40 years old. It's a terroir that demands respect, craftsmanship and painstakingness to express itself through large wines with very good ageing potential, which has been proven by every edition of Prince Matthew wine since 1998.
Then it means the skillful hand of the man who cares for and preserves the vine and who knows how to choose and capitalize on each bunch. I understood, however, that in order to bring out the best in our terroir, tradition must go hand in hand with technology for greater precision in the winemaking process.
It is from this fine balance between man, nature and technology that the wines of the Prince Matei Domains are born and grown.
Number de hectars: 100 hectares
Wine bottled annualy: 200.000 litri
Types of grapes: Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Fetească Neagră, Fetească Albă, Fetească Regală. În 2021 au fost plantate soiuri noi, printre care Tămâioasă Românească, Cabernet Franc și Petit Verdot.
Wine Brands: Prince Matei, Petit Matei, Domeniile Prince Matei, Domeniile Prince Matei Bistrot, Nasty.
Prince Matei
Prince Matei, a terroir wine, has its roots on the austere terraces of two hills: Tegăneanu and Zorilor. Over 40 years old vineyards, clay, gravel, and limestone create the complex personality, intensity, and finesse of this wine. Its history of over 20 years allows us to confidently appreciate its evolution over time. Even if the wine can be enjoyed after simple aeration in the glass, we recommend decantation of 20-30 minutes for a superior experience.
Petit Matei
Petit Matei, like the well-known Prince Matei, is also the product of the exceptional terroir from the Zorilor and Tegăneanu hills. Seductive from its first years, it is a supple and velvety wine, with fresh, intense, and juicy fruit aromas. Sensational even from the first moments after opening, you can aerate it in a decanter for 20-30 minutes for a superior experience
Domeniile Prince Matei
The Prince Matei Domains wine range represents a new generation of wines from Dealu Mare, one of the most celebrated Romanian wine regions. Modern and elegant, each wine can be appreciated alone or paired with food for a gastronomic experience. Feteasca Neagra grapes are part of each blend, even vinified in white!

Located in the village of Vadu Săpat, on the border between Prahova and Buzău counties, Crama de Piatră awaits you with an accommodation unit with 11 rooms, a restaurant, as well as its signature wines.
The place where the winery is located has existed for more than 100 years. The winery was built over the course of three years, between 1909-1912, its completion being done by Italian craftsmen who arrived in the Dealu Mare vineyard, where they made two other wineries. During this time, Clinciu Ion arrived in the area and married a noble girl from here. At the wedding, they received 20 hectares of vines as a gift, which prompted Clinciu Ion to build a winery, using stone as material. At the entrance to the cellar you can still see today the coat of arms inscribed in stone, with the initials C. I and the year 1912.
From the interwar period until 1995, the winery was managed by Cramele Prahova. After 1995, there was a 23-year period when the place was abandoned, but in 2018 building rehabilitation works began. Also in 2018 the first Crama de Piatră brand wines appeared. The vineyard area has 8 hectares, and approximately 30,000 bottles of wine bottled annually. While the cellar and the production hall were reconsolidated, the old manor house, visibly destroyed, was rebuilt offering today 11 rooms (9 double rooms and 2 apartments), with 12 cottages to be added shortly.
Crama de Piatră also has a restaurant with 90 seats and a terrace. Crama de Piatră works with local farmers to ensure they always have fresh food, and in the spring and summer they produce their own vegetables in their own greenhouse.
Available activities: winery tours with wine tasting made by Crama de Piatră but also other wineries in the area, walks on the hill and among the vineyards, walks with all-terrain vehicles, horse and cart rides (with external collaborators), campfire.

The story of DRADARA has its roots in the land that lies quietly on Dealul Mocrii.
The wine from Mocrea barrels was enjoyed by the nobles of the past, the important guests of the prince of Transylvania and the barons of the Vienna Court, because here, just like today, good and honest wine was found.
Dradara vineyard stretches over 19.65 hectares of volcanic soil, on the coast of Mocrii Hill, the Miniş-Măderat Vineyard, which watches over and listens to the secret of white, red and rosé wines.
Here, the sun is in no hurry and rises an hour later: thus, the vines and the grapes enjoy a slow and quiet ripening.

Ferdi Winery – a passion that transcends craft and turns into art. This is how this winery was born, which, although relatively young, has deep roots in the desire to master the wine.
Ferdi Winery represents the vision and concept of the owner and winemaker, Fernando Mihăilescu, who took on the challenge of creating wines in a personal style but according to the traditional method; later, his son, Paul Mihăilescu, joined him in this bold endeavor.
A few years ago we planted our first vines in the Tohani area. Our priority was to achieve excellence in wine production, following the idea that quality wine starts in the vineyard. As a result, after a careful caring for the vineyard, a selection on each individual vine and manual harvest, we obtain first-class grapes.
Our winemaking concept is of a long-term perspective, taking into account that red wines are aged, from 1 to 2 years, in oak barrels. Our « less is more » principle can be noticed starting with the little intervention in the winemaking process, the wines telling themselves the story of the terroir they come from, and ending with their names related to the affective memory of their maker. Ferdi Wines are special by their naturalness, consistency, acidity and elegance. Using the traditional winemaking method results in a range of balanced and refined wines.

Țelna Winery draws its sap from the Alba Iulia Vineyard, one of the oldest Transylvanian vineyards. Sard, Telna, Cricau and Ighiu form the "heart of the vineyard".
The vineyard has a privileged geographical position, at high altitude, over 600 m, sheltered from winds, cold currents or mists, with a mild climate and long autumns that leave the grapes to rest to ripen leisurely.
The entire winemaking process is led by a team of Italian oenologists and specialists.
Excavated 20-25 meters below the hill that guards the mansion, in 1784, the cellar of Telna is unique in the region. Having the shape of the "U" letter, it is not less than 150 meters long and 6 wide. Here, the temperature (10-11°C) and humidity (98-100%) are constant throughout the year thanks to the noble mold and natural ventilation.
Țelna Winery organizes tours according to the following schedule:
• Monday - Saturday: 9:00 - 18:00
• The last tour of the winery starts at 4.30 pm.
• The winery tour without tasting lasts 20 minutes.
• The wine tasting tour with 4 wine tastings lasts 60 minutes.
• On Saturday, both the winery tour and the tastings are made with prior appointment, at least 24 hours before the visit.

Located in Dobrogea, on the banks of the Danube, between the Cochirleni and Rasova villages, the Domaine DUMETRIER complex includes a vineyard, a wine cellar, as well as a hotel, a spa, a restaurant and a farm that will be the supplier for the restaurant. The hotel will also offer a bar and a conference room, while the spa will have two saunas, two massage rooms, a Turkish bath, an indoor and an outdoor pool.
In this harmonious and sustainable universe, we want to offer our guests a unique experience that brings together wine, gastronomy, architecture, nature, people and culture.
We paid special attention to the architecture of the entire site, so that the winery and the rest of the two hectares’ complex integrate naturally into the Danube landscape.
The Domaine DUMETRIER vineyard is located 7 km away from the winery, near the Danube banks, covering 2 hills on an area of 73 ha. It was planted in 2011 protecting the characteristics of the chosen terroir.
In this balanced, ecological environment, we also integrated rarely planted varieties in Romania such as Malbec, Mourvèdre and Semillon. Classic varieties such as Chardonnay, Sauvignon blanc, Merlot, Cabernet sauvignon, Syrah and a very rare but known Romanian variety Negru de Drăgășani are also present.
We want the vine to transmit to the grape and wine composition the characteristics of the terroir whose maximum components have been protected. Our grapes are harvested manually, are ecological and we apply a minimum of controlled treatments by daily checking the vineyard and the weather conditions.
Each Domaine DUMETRIER wine expresses the purity of the variety, the genuineness of the fruit, the expression of the terroir and goes through a rigorous internal selection.
The construction of the winery will be completed at the end of 2022, while the hotel, restaurant and spa will open their doors to welcome guests at the end of 2024.

Dealu Mare, located in the Dealurile Munteniei wine region, has deep roots in the history of the region, called "the land of red wines". The typical warm, dry microclimate and fairly long autumns favor a slow and thorough ripening of the grapes. There is a long vegetation period of 210-240 days, with a maximum humidity of 55-80%. The soil here is dotted with marine fossils, and the grapes enjoy the perfect combination of warm days and cold nights.
Rhein & Cie 1892 wineries, from Azuga, a sparkling wine production unit and oenological tourism are considered the oldest location in the country where sparkling wine is produced without interruption by the traditional method. In the cellars built above ground, with double walls, black mold and natural ventilation, visitors can fully appreciate the art of producing sparkling wine.
