Alira is an 80-acre boutique winery, located in Dobrogea, on the hills overlooking the banks of the Old Danube. We believe in respect for nature and quality at the expense of quantity. We do all this in the hope of providing a premium experience to every customer.
The name ALIRA is a merge between the names of the localities of Aliman and Rasova where our vineyards are located and where the wine is born on the banks of the Danube. This is a special place where nature works in favor of man and the only ingredients missing to make a legendary wine were passion and skill.

Via Viticola winery is located in the oldest vineyard of Dobrogea, near the hills of Sarica and Niculițel. Following the rebranding, the winery took the name of the most famous range of wines it produces: Caii de la Letea.
The "Caii de la Letea" wine was born in the oldest vineyard of Dobrogea, near the hills of Sarica and Niculițel, where the cultivation of the vine has millenary roots.
Even if the traditional methods of viticulture and grape selection have been preserved, the new winemaking technologies are masterfully handled by the winery's oenologists in order to highlight the specific imprint of the terroirs that the winery cares for in the Dobrogea area.
One of the emblematic varieties of the vineyard is the Aligote, a variety that we grew with passion and skill, and today it continues to reward us with a series of awards at renowned international competitions.

Beyond their wilderness, the horses from Letea mean harmony and composure regardless of the circumstances. These wines are dedicated to those who keep being elegant even in difficult situations.

CLOS DES COLOMBES WINERY is the result of a crazy dream of Anne Marie Rosenberg, who transformed an old farm located on the shores of the Black Sea into a wine estate.
This French-Romanian, who comes from a long line of Champagne winemakers, created with the help of her faithful team and her son, a favorite place for lovers of good wine and gastronomy.
The word 'CLOS' in CLOS DES COLOMBES is an ancestral tradition. In French, the word "clos" describes a closed vineyard, generally surrounded by a dry stone wall.
The word 'COLOMBES' from CLOS DES COLOMBES represents the past of the domain: an old house with pigeons that we renovated and the pigeons that were in a small number at the beginning, but that grew on the course.

Located in Dobrogea, on the banks of the Danube, between the Cochirleni and Rasova villages, the Domaine DUMETRIER complex includes a vineyard, a wine cellar, as well as a hotel, a spa, a restaurant and a farm that will be the supplier for the restaurant. The hotel will also offer a bar and a conference room, while the spa will have two saunas, two massage rooms, a Turkish bath, an indoor and an outdoor pool.
In this harmonious and sustainable universe, we want to offer our guests a unique experience that brings together wine, gastronomy, architecture, nature, people and culture.
We paid special attention to the architecture of the entire site, so that the winery and the rest of the two hectares’ complex integrate naturally into the Danube landscape.
The Domaine DUMETRIER vineyard is located 7 km away from the winery, near the Danube banks, covering 2 hills on an area of 73 ha. It was planted in 2011 protecting the characteristics of the chosen terroir.
In this balanced, ecological environment, we also integrated rarely planted varieties in Romania such as Malbec, Mourvèdre and Semillon. Classic varieties such as Chardonnay, Sauvignon blanc, Merlot, Cabernet sauvignon, Syrah and a very rare but known Romanian variety Negru de Drăgășani are also present.
We want the vine to transmit to the grape and wine composition the characteristics of the terroir whose maximum components have been protected. Our grapes are harvested manually, are ecological and we apply a minimum of controlled treatments by daily checking the vineyard and the weather conditions.
Each Domaine DUMETRIER wine expresses the purity of the variety, the genuineness of the fruit, the expression of the terroir and goes through a rigorous internal selection.
The construction of the winery will be completed at the end of 2022, while the hotel, restaurant and spa will open their doors to welcome guests at the end of 2024.

Domeniul Bogdan was born from a dream…the dream of producing exceptional and natural wines.
We started our journey in 2011, when we planted our vineyards in Dobrogea, the land between the Danube and the Black Sea, in the well-known wine region of Murfatlar D.O.C., close to Pestera village, a region with tradition in cultivating grapes since ancient times.
Then followed study trips in the fascinating world of wine and in the end we learnt that the secret of a very good wine lies in the very good quality of the grapes.
Hence our choice to cultivate the entire area according to the principles of biodynamic viticulture – the Life forces science, the cultivation system with the most holistic approach, this being our vision regarding the future of agriculture towards healthy food. This is how the first biodynamic wine farm in Romania came into being. Respect for Life in all its forms is the base of our philosophy: respect for Nature, for the Earth, plants, animals, insects, the environment of the people working in the vineyard and, last but not the least, of the people who consume our wines.
We are convinced that high quality grapes can be obtained only by observing and respecting the principles and rhythms of Nature, this cultivation method allowing the terroir to express itself by developing authentic flavours and by producing wines with character.
Our intention is to integrate sustainable biodynamic viticulture with the latest wine-making technologies, in order to achieve our goal: producing exceptional wines.
The cultivated varieties, all in a biodynamic way, are the following:
• Fetească Neagră
• Pinot Noir
• Syrah (Shiraz)
• Merlot
• Riesling
• Muscat Ottonel
• Chardonnay
• Sauvignon Blanc
• Cabernet Sauvignon
• Tămâiosă Românească
