Experience Details

Held in your actual family home just outside Brașov, this experience is all about warmth, authenticity, and the feeling of being truly welcomed. You’ll learn to make traditional sarmale the same way they’ve been prepared in our family for generations, all while enjoying unlimited local wine, țuică, and a taste of our homemade cherry liqueur, vișinată. As we cook together, you’ll also get to sample a spread of classic Romanian snacks like cheeses, sausages, pork skin, and other favorites, while hearing personal stories and traditions that bring our culture to life. Every dish you’ll enjoy is made by you, with a little guidance from a true Romanian mom, and the intimate atmosphere ensures that by the end, guests don’t just feel like visitors, they feel like part of the family.

What You’ll Experience

Ready to cook like a true Romanian? Join us just outside Brașov, in your cozy family home, for a heartwarming cultural experience. This isn’t just about learning how to make sarmale, Romania’s beloved stuffed cabbage rolls, it’s a journey into your traditions and family life. You’ll discover why sarmale are served at every Romanian celebration, from weddings to Christmas dinners, and how each family adds their own twist to the recipe. Guided by my mom (a true master of the craft), you’ll mix, roll, and season everything using family techniques passed down through generations. As your creations slowly cook on the stove, we’ll gather around for stories, laughter, and a tasting of local treats: cheeses, sausages, pork skin (for the curious!), and more. We’ll toast with unlimited local wine and țuică, and you’ll get a sip of my dad’s famous cherry liqueur, vișinată, a sweet family tradition. When the sarmale are ready, you’ll sit down to enjoy the reward of your own hands, paired with polenta, sour cream, and a homemade dessert. And since this is a hands-on learning experience, everything you'll eat is made by you, with a little help from us, of course!
