In Dobruja, the region where the sun reflects in the waves of the Black Sea and the vineyards stretch to the horizon, you feel at home. In the heart of this land, Dobrujan pie and local wines intertwined with the history and culture of the area create a culinary experience that you don't come across very often.
This gastronomic journey begins in wineries famous for their wines, such as Murfatlar, Histria or Rasova, where local and international grapes are transformed into the liquor of the gods. Each bottle of wine tells a story, an invitation to explore the unique terroir of Dobruja. But in addition to wines, the region boasts diverse cuisine, at the center of which is the Dobruja pie, a symbol of the hospitality of the locals.
Dobruja pie, a culinary masterpiece, is made with salty and sweet cheese, wrapped in thin layers of dough, skillfully prepared by local housewives. A visit to Cumpăna commune will introduce you to the art of preparing this pie, where Mrs. Maria Giurgiu, president of the Association of Housewives, shares the secrets of this recipe passed down from generation to generation. Simple ingredients - cheese, eggs, flour and a little salt - turn into a culinary delight that reflects the wealth and gastronomic diversity of Dobruja.
Like the pie, crescent rolls with Turkish delight are another representative of the Dobruja tradition, the tenderness of the dough being the secret that makes them unforgettable. These dishes, together with the wines that carry the essence of the Dobruja sun, invite you to explore and savor the culinary traditions of a region where every meal is a celebration of diversity and history.
In Dobruja, every glass of wine and every piece of pie is not only a delight for the taste buds, but also a window into the soul of the region. We invite you to discover this authentic experience, where gastronomy and winemaking meet in a symphony of flavors and traditions, offering you a memorable journey through the heart of Dobruja.Wineries:
