Wines of Moldova

Wines of Moldova

With more than 5,000 years of winemaking history, Moldova is a country where deep-rooted tradition meets a dynamic new generation of producers. Today, its wine industry is undergoing a quiet revolution, with a renewed focus on quality, terroir and distinctive regional identity.

Taste your way through Moldova’s diverse landscape, meeting producers and discovering indigenous varieties including Fetească Albă, Fetească Regală, Fetească Neagră and Rară Neagră, alongside internationally recognised grapes given a distinctly Moldovan expression. From fresh, aromatic whites and elegant sparkling wines to characterful, structured reds, the tasting will showcase the breadth and ambition of modern Moldovan winemaking.

The line-up will also extend beyond wine, with Moldovan distilleries showcasing the country’s spirits tradition, including Divin, Moldova’s celebrated aged wine spirit.

Alongside the walk-around tasting, guests will have the opportunity to attend two dedicated masterclasses: one exploring the wines of Moldova and the other shining a spotlight on the country’s spirits, offering a deeper dive into the styles, producers and stories shaping Moldova’s modern drinks industry.

Meet the people behind the bottles, taste an exciting selection of wines and spirits, and discover why this country with an extraordinary viticultural heritage is increasingly making its mark on the international drinks scene.
