It was an event that opens up beautiful prospects for our wines all over the world and promises to offer our country new markets for bulk wines.
We are incredibly proud that Moldavian Wine is becoming more and more noticed abroad. In a new Euronews material, the Explore column, journalist Anca Ulea discovered Moldova’s viticultural wealth and the uniqueness of its traditions.
Anca visited the legendary winery Combinatul de Vinuri “CRICOVA” S.A., the picturesque places of the Orheiul Vechi region and admired the beauty of the Moldovan vineyards in a completely new way, from the height of a hot air balloon. Of course, this dream trip could not end otherwise than with a traditional Moldovan dinner, paired with an authentic wine at the Chateau Vartely Winery.
Broadcasting these reports on the prestigious Euronews is a first for our country, and represents the joint efforts made by the National Vine and Wine Office (ONVV) in partnership with USAID Moldova in collaboration with Euronews to promote the Wine of Moldova country brand.
