Transylvania is a wine region located in central Romania, known for its rich history and diverse range of wines. The region has been producing wine for over 2,000 years, with the first vineyards being planted by the ancient Dacians. Today, Transylvania is home to a number of small, family-owned wineries that produce a variety of red, white, and rosé wines.
The main grape varieties grown in Transylvania include Fetească Regală, Fetească Albă, Muscat Ottonel, and Sauvignon Blanc for white wines, and Fetească Neagră, Pinot Noir, and Merlot for red wines. The region is known for producing crisp, aromatic white wines and full-bodied, complex red wines.

Transylvania is not only known for its wine, but also for its association with the legend of Dracula. The region is home to Bran Castle, which is often referred to as Dracula's Castle, although there is no historical evidence to support this claim.
