The National Office of Vine and Wine provides an alternative for those who want to celebrate the National Wine Day. The institution announced that this year the holiday will be staged at the local level. Thus, the wineries will prepare an individual program for October 3 and 4. During the two days, those who are fond of the Moldovan wines will enjoy special offers and tourist programs, IPN reports.

On October 3-4, 2015, those who want to taste Moldovan wines will be able to make visits at source. “Trips will be staged to vineyards and underground cellars. The hosts will prepare traditional dishes and will serve the most savory wines of Moldova. Some wineries will organize performances, while others will provide transport up to the vineyards. Each of the producers has the freedom to decide what to do,” said the National Office of Vine and Wine.

The National Wine Day festivities that were to be staged in the Great National Assembly square of Chisinau this year were cancelled. Such a decision was taken in concert with the wine producers, which said the holding of the event in central Chisinau is not possible for security reasons.

A sum of 2.8 million lei was earmarked in the Vine and Wine Fund for organizing the event this year.
