In western Oltenia, where the Danube carves its path near Drobeta-Turnu Severin, the wine country becomes a story of silence, authenticity, and rebirth. The vineyards of Plaiurile Drancei echo ancient traditions, remote serenity, and bold reds waiting to be discovered by those who venture a little farther from the usual trails.
Reviving an estate with roots in the interwar aristocracy, Corcova creates expressive Pinot Noir, Syrah, and standout rosés. Guided tastings take place in a restored manor, surrounded by forests and the peaceful vibe of Mehedinti’s hills.
Known for creativity and bold wines, Oprisor blends art and terroir into cuvées like Caloian, La Cetate, and Rusalca Alba. Their cellar doubles as a modern art gallery — both wild and thoughtful.
An estate with deep historical roots, Galicea Mare has revived its vineyards with modern care and traditional values. Specialties include Feteasca Neagra and Muscat Ottonel. Tastings are hosted in restored manor buildings and offer a quiet, timeless charm.
Discover the quiet strength of Severin & Plaiurile Drancei — where vineyards grow slow, grapes grow bold, and stories ferment with every glass.
