Traditionally, every year after Wine Day, we review the impressive numbers that marked this wine celebration. At this year’s edition, 130,000 people celebrated the success of Moldovan wine and said in unison: “Our wine conquers the world!”

This year’s edition had a special significance, because the country’s wine brand “Vinul Moldovei. A Living Legend’ celebrated a decade since its release on the international market.

This year, exactly 94 local producers exhibited 6000 bottles of wine in PMAN, to the delight of the guests. Of these, 30,000 bottles of wine were offered for tasting at their stands, and event visitors went home with over 132,000 bottles of wine.

In addition, guests who wanted to meet the winemakers purchased 3,500 Tasting Cards and completed 42,000 tastings over two days using the 12 tickets included.

National Wine Day was also celebrated in style at the country’s wineries, where 20,000 wine lovers chose to explore the Wine Route and discover our legendary wineries. During this period, the wineries sold 15,000 bottles to visitors who crossed their threshold.

We are incredibly proud of these numbers, which were possible thanks to you, those who came to the market and celebrated Moldavian Wine. We are confident that the next edition will impress with even greater numbers.

See you on October 5-6, 2024, at the National Wine Day!

In an equally impressive number, the guests tasted local wines and danced late into the night.

Sunday’s program opened with the awarding of the “Golden Pole” award, offered annually by the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Republic of Moldova. Of the 127 samples presented for the republican tasting, 9 became winners.

Workshops from skilled craftsmen followed, the Wine School and many, many dances to popular rhythms. The event ended with an extraordinary concert performed by X.O. Band, Pasha Parfeni Band and Vali Boghean Band.
