  The 1777 Wine Museum is a unique cultural attraction located in Valea Călugărească, Prahova County, Romania, nestled within the renowned Dealu Mare wine region. This museum is a faithful reconstruction of a traditional Romanian wine cellar (cramă) dating back to the year 1777, as indicated by the inscription on its portal. ️ Historical Significance The original wooden structure was considered the oldest preserved peasant dwelling in Prahova County until 1985. In that year, it was dismantled to conserve its materials, which were later used to reconstruct the museum at its current location. The project was initiated by the Prahova County Museum of History and Archaeology and was inaugurated on May 18, 2013, coinciding with International Museum Day.
