Castelul Bethlen-Haller Tickets and Tours

Castles and Wine - Private Tour to Transylvania

Wine lover’s Transylvania

As a wine lover, sipping vino inside a centuries-old castle was a magical experience. Bethlen-Haller was the highlight of my day. The entire estate is beautiful and the history is fascinating. The expert poured a lot of different Jidvei wines and there was an impressive spread of local cheeses and snacks. They have a 13th-century chapel and you can see the family coat of arms that they actually found in a riverbank nearby. It was really interesting to see their 1500s spiral staircase, all made from wood with no metal. If you’re a time geek, every year the owner’s family gives him a vintage clock that you can see hanging up the stairwell. For me, going into the food cellar was one of the best parts of the tour. They have jars of honey and pickled things they make all with ingredients from the grounds. Corvin Castle is everything you’d imagine a castle in Transylvania should be. It felt more authentic than some of the crowded spots. Make sure you see the well in the courtyard and get the story behind it! Great value. If you like wine and also want to see a lot in a day, definitely book this trip!
