Wine Harvest, Troubled Hermitage, Old Town Cafés

Ioana spends her second day in Buzău at the first Buzău Wine Fest in Pietroasele, joins the grape stomping, and hears about the scandal over the unpermitted roof at the Fundătura hermitage. Back in town, she explores the old centre, tries a local café, and reflects on the quiet reinvention of this sub-Carpathian city — plus what a day here actually costs. ☕ Enjoying the show?
