Rhein Cellars and the Secrets of Royal Family

We will start our trip in the morning. We will reach Azuga in the afternoon. There we will be introduced into the story of wine tourism. It began to develop with the Halewood Wine Cellars, the Rhein-Azuga Cellars, where you can discover the art of producing sparkling wine according to the traditional method used in the Champagne region. The Rhein cellars in Azuga were opened in 1892. They were recognized, between the two world wars, as the „Royal Court Supplier”. At present, Rhein Azuga Cellars are the oldest „location” that produces sparkling wine according to the traditional method. On April 27, 2006, Halewood Crafts were awarded the „Majesty’s King Michael’s House Supply” for sparkling wines, and on October 12, 2009, they became an Official Supplier for Still Wines. After the cellars tour, we will have a traditional lunch and taste 3 types of wine.

We continue our trip to see one of the most stunning castles in Europe, Peles Castle. The former Romanian royal family’s summer residence should definitely be on your bucket list.
