Azuga Rhein Wine Cellar

The Rhein Wine Cellar: A Gem in the Carpathians

Located in the picturesque town of Azuga, Romania, the Rhein Wine Cellar sits nestled between the stunning landscapes of Sinaia and Brasov in the Prahova Valley. This charming winery, originally established as Rhein & Cie Azuga in 1892, is surrounded by the breathtaking Carpathian Mountains, making it a perfect destination for wine lovers and nature enthusiasts alike.

A Rich History of Winemaking

Throughout the years, the Rhein Wine Cellar has earned a prestigious reputation, serving as the official wine supplier to the Romanian Royal Family during the interwar period. The winery's cellars were constructed between 188 and 1892 by a German investor named Rhein, who arrived in the region alongside other investors during the construction of the nearby Peles Castle, commissioned by King Carol I of Romania. Today, the Azuga Rhein Wine Cellar is part of the Halewood Winery group and remains one of Romania's oldest wineries, renowned for its traditional Champenoise method of producing sparkling wines, which involves fermenting wine in glass bottles.

Warm Hospitality and Scenic Surroundings

In 2006, the Azuga Rhein Wine Cellar was honored to be named the official wine supplier of His Majesty King Michael I of Romania. Located just 45 minutes from the iconic Bran Castle, a popular tourist attraction, the winery offers a welcoming atmosphere and genuine hospitality. Visitors can enjoy a taste of the region's finest wines while soaking in the stunning views of the Carpathians. For those wishing to extend their visit, comfortable accommodations are available on-site, allowing guests to fully appreciate the beauty and charm of this historic winery.
