In Romania, wine expert Cătălin Păduraru, organizer of the Vinarium competition, has initiated a project for a tourist route through the wineries of the Dealu Mare region in Prahova County, aimed at travelers with caravans. The first stop on the route was Crama Feruccio winery near Ploiești.
The 'Autostrada Podgoriilor' ('Wine Highway') project aims to solve the shortage of accommodation in wine regions by using motorhomes, without building new hotels. Plans include creating minimal infrastructure (electricity, water, showers) at wineries to welcome caravan guests. The initiative is inspired by successful tourist routes such as Camino and Via Transilvanica, and aims to attract tourists, including foreigners, and boost direct wine sales from wineries.
