Very good guide and good day trip! - I went yesterday with my partner to this event. Serban Riga was a great guide and knew a bunch about Bucharest, the vineyards and especially the castle.
Seeing where the wine was made and stored was also pretty cool.
If I have to complain about one thing it would have to be the heat in the car. But it's still a 5/5 experience.
