In the North - Western part of Romania, in the county of Satu - Mare there is a less known wine-growing area but with many wine producers, who produce wines of noble grape varieties, appreciated at the competitions in the field of wine making.

The quality of these wines is standardized by the Geographic Indication (IG) Sătmar Hills for wines from plantations on the Halmeu wine area (which includes: Halmeu, Orașu Nou, Tarna Mare, Batarici, Turlung) and wines with IG - Crișana's Hills for the grape collected from the Valea lui Mihai area (which includes the localities: Carei, Pir, Sauca, Cehal, Tasnad), Sanislau and Rătești (with the localities: Beltiug, Ardud, Viile Satu Mare, Socod, Supur, Acaș, Bogdad, Holod).

For the development and promotion of this area the local authorities have made the road of the Satu - Mare wine with three routes: Halmeu Vii - Turlung Vii - Orașul Nou Vii, Carei - Pir and Holod - Dobra - Beltiug - Rătești - Ardud - Viile Satu - Mare.
