It was an honor for us to be part of the “Evening dedicated to the Republic of Moldova” event, which took place on May 18, hosted at the Queen Elisabeta Palace in Bucharest, by the Royal Family of Romania.

We happily represented the craft of winemaking in the Republic of Moldova as ambassadors of this rich tradition, with an excellent selection of wines produced in the most prestigious cellars and wineries in Moldova.

More than 100 varieties of wine from 21 producers were presented to the honored guests on the occasion of the event.

The event was organized by the National Vine and Wine Office (ONVV) and the Embassy of the Republic of Moldova in Romania, with the financial support of USAID Moldova.

We are deeply grateful to the Royal House for their support and warm welcome.

Moldavian wine was proudly presented this year by a record number of 40 wineries, including 15 small producers, at RO Wine – International Wine Festival of Romania, which took place between May 12-14 in Bucharest.

The winemakers brought to the festival wines with stories, created in the spirit of dedication to quality and the tradition of making Bacchus liqueur in each bottle speak for itself and tell its history.

Visitors could discover the distinct signature of each winery and taste more than 200 varieties of wine produced in the Republic of Moldova: dry wines, young wines from the 2022 harvest, sparkling wines, wines with PGI and wines obtained from organically grown grapes. Thus, the guests were able to get to know the country wine brand “Vinul Moldovai. A living legend”, but also the talented people behind it.

Participation in the event was possible thanks to the financial support of ONVV and the USAID Moldova Rural Competitiveness and Resilience Project in Moldova.
