    Step back in time with an exclusive escape from Cluj to the heart of Transylvania’s "Weinland." Departing at 9:30 a.m., your journey leads to the majestic Bethlen-Haller Castle, a 16th-century architectural masterpiece rising above the rolling hills and oak forests of the Jidvei estate. Meticulously restored, this French Renaissance-style castle offers a rare glimpse into noble life, where five centuries of history meet the world-class viticulture of today. Join an expert-led guided tour of the castle. Discover its fascinating evolution from aristocratic residence to modern symbol of Romanian winemaking & explore its beautifully preserved chambers & noble legacy. Experience the unique terroir of the Tarnava Valley. Sample 7 premium selections of Jidvei’s finest wines, guided by professional tasting notes that highlight the fresh, aromatic character of the region.
