The region of Carei and Satu Mare, tucked away in the northwest of Romania, surprises travelers with a fusion of cultural heritage and emerging winemaking talent. From the aristocratic charm of Károlyi Castle in Carei to the quiet hills where vines now thrive again, this area offers a slower pace of life — one where wines are crafted with care and authenticity. Here, wineries like Dobra, Jugrestan, and Nachbil open their cellars to curious visitors, offering an invitation to taste, explore and connect with a lesser-known but rapidly growing terroir.
Founded by passionate winemakers in Satu Mare County, Dobra Winery embraces sustainable viticulture and innovative blends. Expect expressive Feteasca Regala and Pinot Noir, served in a rustic-modern setting that reflects both tradition and renewal.
A family-run estate nestled near Carei, Jugrestan focuses on micro-vinification techniques to produce elegant wines full of personality. Their Sauvignon Blanc and Merlot capture the purity of the local terroir.
