Bucharest: Romanian Wine and Food Pairing Experience

6.Romanian Wine and Food Pairing Experience

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 23 reviews · 2 hours · from $62

Bucharest wine and food pairing with 5 Romanian wines, cheeses, salami, spreads including zacuscă, and guided tastings in Old Town.

“I paid for the wine and food pairing but only received some cubes of cheese with crackers and no other food to pair with the wines. I didn't receive anything with the first wine so asked the sommelier about the pairings and he said he would bring the snacks later so they would last for all of the wines. As he brought the second wine he brought the cheese and crackers. That was the only food I received, not what was advertised when I booked it. I believe I got the experience that I would have received if I'd just booked the wine tasting rather than the food pairing experience…”
