Description
Autumn begins with good wine, good company, and a celebration in the heart of Chisinau.
On 3-4 October 2026, Moldova will celebrate the 25th edition of National Wine Day – two days dedicated to Moldovan wines, winemaking traditions, and the people who keep this story alive.
At the Great National Assembly Square in Chisinau, more than 100 producers will showcase their wines, while visitors can enjoy tastings and masterclasses, discover new releases and limited editions, meet winemakers and experience Moldovan gastronomy in a festive atmosphere.
But National Wine Day is about more than wine. It is about reunions, friends, family, and the joy of coming together around a tradition that is part of Moldova’s identity.
If you are in Moldova during this period, we warmly invite you to join this special anniversary edition and discover why Wine of Moldova is „Unexpectedly Great”.
