A trail is a curated wine route — cellars, stays and tables connected by paved roads, short drives and the rhythm of a long weekend. These are the ones we recommend.
A manifesto
Five to seven stops, never more. Each one chosen because the trail is worse without it.
Short hops between stops — rarely more than ninety minutes between cellars.
Built around two long lunches and one slow morning. Wine country is not a checklist.
Plate I · The catalogue
More to come.
Forty-eight hours along the Sub-Carpathian ridge — four cellars, two long lunches, one ridge.

Three days through the sweet-wine heartland — Grasă, noble rot, and lunches on the post road.
Moldova · Three days, two nights
A long weekend on the high plateau — Saxon villages, fortified churches, mineral whites.
Transylvania · Three to four days
Three days on the Timiș plain — Habsburg roads, generous cellars, long lunches.

Limestone vineyards, Greek ruins, and a swim at Vama Veche.
