Berlin is the city of international cuisines and yet Romanian cuisine has not yet made it onto the list. We want to change that and bring the dishes we grew up with to the city that has been hosting us since 2017. And since local food is best served with local wine, a selection of Romanian wines will fill the glasses with each course.
Guest Chef in May 2024: Chef Sorin Stoica, part of the Romanian kitchen revival, ex-crew member of NOMA Copenhagen, and "Solstitiu Dinners" pop-up co-master in Bucharest.
What is included in the price:
3.5-hour event with WSET 3 certified wine expert Ramona Enache-Lorenz and Romanian guest chef;
6-course menu;
6 wines each paired with a dish made from Romanian grape varieties and not only;
3 different menus: Meat, fish or vegetarian. The Makery ticket is for Vegetarian Menu, please contact us if you wish to change that.

Romanian cuisine is a mix of so many different cultures that have crossed our borders over the past 2000 years: Romans, Greeks, Turks, Germans, Russians and so much more. On top of that, Romania is a pretty big country with very different dishes and influences and even as a local, you probably never tried every recipe. Even though urban Romania is now focused on meat, fish, and poultry dishes, it has not always been this way. For years, the main source of food in rural areas has been vegetables. In attempting to recreate this as part of our events, we will be exclusively cooking vegetarian.
Romanian wines are not well known despite Romania being Europe's 6th largest wine producer. During our first generation of Pointer events we have already introduced you to the fascinating grape universe we grew up in, home of 14 local grape varieties and attracting winemakers from all around Europe.
