"The Wine Road" through the vineyards of the Tarnava Valley

Discovering the Wine Road

A vacation can mean more than just a week at the seaside or a few days in the mountains. For those who want to discover one of the oldest traditions in the Tarnava Valley, there is the "Wine Road."

Renowned Wines of Tarnave

Experts agree that the wine from Tarnave is undoubtedly one of the most renowned in Romania. The wines from the Blaj Jidvei area are starting to attract more and more enthusiasts of this type of tourist vacation.

Beyond the refreshing tastings on hot summer days or even sheltered by the hearth with a mug of mulled wine in hand, tourists can discover the preparation methods and secrets behind these wines, as well as other important attractions in the area.

Attractions Along the Wine Road

Wandering Along the Old Roman Road

One of these attractions is located near the village of Ighiu, an area traversed by the ancient Roman wine road, Via Magna. Another important tourist attraction is the Trascău Fortress, also known as Colțești Fortress, a fortress steeped in history.

Municipalities to Explore

Neither the municipalities of Aiud and Blaj should be overlooked by the traveler choosing to spend their vacation on the Wine Road.

The Wine Road Project

The "Wine Road" project is a European-funded initiative that traverses the vineyards between Blaj and Jidvei over a total distance of approximately 200 kilometers.
