Constanta County Vineyards
At 24 km from Constanta – Murfatlar Vineyard stands as one of the most important sightseeing spots, well-known in Romania for the remarkable quality of the wine sorts produced, such as : Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc, Muscat Ottonel, Traminer, Italian Riesling, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon.
The Murfatlar Vineyard was first mentioned in the writings of the Latin Poet Ovidiu, but actually was acknowledged since 1907. The vineyard is renowned for its sweet wines made of grapes whose contents are highly sugared as they are reaped after they have dried up. The sorts of wines produced by the Murfatlar vineyard, though can be found in other parts of Romania too, are the best, with a distinct flavour and taste given by the local soil and climate.

Several million euro have been invested here- in part with European grants- in new production equipment and in the replanting of the vine stocks to be able to achieve international quality standards. At the same time, the Murfatlar vineyard has expanded its range offering many categories of wine.
A strategy which has paid off. Murfatlar is now the number one wine exporter in the country and wins awards in international competitions. At world wine contests, the Murfatlar vintage has been awarded no less than 350 golden medals.
On the domestic market, where 80 percent of the wines are sweet, red and white, Murfatlar decided to launch a dry wine under the label "Sec de Murfatlar", with a New World marketing approach and a $400,000 promotion campaign.
Placed in the middle of the vineyards, in a charming natural setting, the tourist center of Murfatlar Vineyard offers the tourists unforgettable moments. Tasting the wines and delicious traditional cuisine gently blend with Romanian folklore music and dances.
