National Wine Day Moldova 2026 Marks Its 25th Anniversary
In 2026, National Wine Day celebrates 25 years since the beginning of a tradition that has become closely associated with Moldova’s national wine culture.

Wine of Moldova: A Country’s Story Told Through Wine
Today, Moldovan wine is both an important part of the country’s heritage and one of the ways Moldova presents its modern identity internationally.
Behind every winery is a different story – of families, vineyards, regions, traditions, innovation and the people who continue to develop Moldova’s wine culture.
Together, these stories shape the identity of Wine of Moldova and present the Republic of Moldova as a country where deep-rooted winemaking traditions meet contemporary ideas, technologies and international ambitions.
National Wine Day gives visitors the opportunity to experience this identity firsthand – through Moldova’s wines, food, culture and hospitality.
