The Dealu Mare region, spanning Prahova and Buzău counties, is a significant viticultural hub in Romania. As of 2021, Prahova County held 6,834 hectares of vineyards, making it a primary viticultural area in the South-Muntenia region.

The region is characterized by its production of wines with Protected Designation of Origin (DOP) and Protected Geographical Indication (IGP) status, with a particular emphasis on red varieties such as Feteasca Neagră, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Pinot Noir. Localities including Valea Călugărească, Urlați, and Ceptura serve as central points for these activities.

Viticulture in the area is closely linked to tourism. Established routes include a 58-kilometer Wine Road in Prahova and a 50-kilometer Wine Cellar Road in Buzău. These routes allow visitors to explore modern wineries, historical cellars, museums, and boyar manors.
