Halewood Romania

John Halewood, entrepreneurial owner of Halewood International, has had a long history of dealing with Romanian wine and has played a major part in making Romanian wine accessible on a global level.

In 1987 Halewood International began importing wines from Romania into the UK. The group enjoyed great success and thus created Halewood Romania in 1997, with a head office in Bucharest that now employs more than 200 people.

In the last ten years Halewood Romania has invested more than 8 million Euros in new machinery, land acquisition and a replanting programme. Halewood Romania’s seven cellars are named – Tohani Cellars, Vadu Sapat Cellar, Valea Calugareasca Cellars, Ciumbrud Cellars, Ploiesti, Rhein Azuga Cellars and Urlateanu Mansion House – each with a distinctive character. The company operates from vineyards in Dealu Mare, Transylvania and Murfatlar.
