About us

A passion for good wine – Bucharest’s first urban winery.

How it started

A passion for good wine

Lucaci 16

Local craft and production

Lucaci 16 – on one of the quiet streets of the city centre, which preserves the typical charm of old Bucharest, stands a beautiful eclectic house, now marked by the passing of time, built in 1895. This is where the wines of Crama Urbană Lucaci 16 are made.

Once the home of a merchant family and later a music school, it sits in a part of town rich in history – the Lucaci neighbourhood, one of Bucharest’s oldest, mentioned in the poems of Anton Pann and later part of the Jewish Quarter, where traditional wagon-houses with gardens mix with villas and modernist blocks.

Tradition

Wine from the courtyards of Bucharest

Here continues the local tradition of families making wine in the vine-covered yards of the old houses in the city centre. Reminiscing about the early autumn days when the family gathered in the yard to make wine, and about the joy of offering friends a glass of home-made wine, we evolved from tradition to experimenting with high-quality wine.

Surrounded by history and inspired by tradition, innovation is the essence of our process. In our winery we use professional equipment and carefully controlled winemaking techniques.
