About This Tour
Fall brings with it one of Romania’s most beloved traditional events, and this trip invites you to be part of the story. In the heart of the Bran resort, the Sheep Herding Festival, held concurrently with the Cheese and Pastrami Festival, transforms the mountain landscape into a true celebration of flavor and tradition. You’ll be greeted by folk music, dancing, authentic costumes, and the unmistakable aromas of traditional dishes, with the opportunity to participate in hands-on workshops and lively folk parades.
