We are pleased to invite you to an exceptional wine experience – the winter edition of the Wine Vernissage. This year we will celebrate the 20th anniversary edition of the opening, which will be held under the slogan “Come, winter story!”.
The Wine Vernissage is one of the most important wine events in the country, an event dedicated to wine enthusiasts, which aims to promote wine culture on the domestic market and bring to the fore the unmistakable qualities of local products.
Many surprises await us at this edition. In addition to the traditional discussions with sommelier specialists and winemakers from the country, this year we will have the opportunity to taste exceptional wines from 75 producers, including the wines awarded at the national “Wine of Moldova Contest”.
In addition, we will have the opportunity to taste a lot of new wines from our producers. And this edition, within the Vernissage, a separate salon will be created dedicated to the best diviners in the country.
On December 15, we are waiting for you at the Palace of the Republic to celebrate Moldavian Wine together. See you at the Wine Vernissage, XX edition.
Last week, around 90 representatives of wineries in the country participated in an online seminar dedicated to the new European legislation regarding the labeling of wine products. The seminar was given by Dr. Ignacio Sanchez Recarte, general secretary of CEEV (European Committee of Wine Companies).
The seminar discussed important topics related to the new European legislation, which will gradually enter into force, giving manufacturers a 2-year transition period for implementation. Manufacturers were advised to start preparing the new labels as early as this year and use QR code technology to redirect consumers to a web page independent of the manufacturer’s website.
The participation of winemakers from Moldova in the seminar was possible thanks to the support of ONVV, in order to place our wines as organically as possible on the European market, according to the highest quality standards.
On November 27, in Seoul, an exclusive tasting took place that brought together wines from eight Moldovan producers: Asconi, Bostavan, Carpe Diem, Chateau Cristi, Gitana, Milestii Mici, Purcari, Radacini.

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.
We are pleased to announce the results of the 2nd edition of the “Wine of Moldova” National Contest, which took place on November 9 and 10 at Digital Park.
