Vernisajul Vinului (Wine Vernissage)
Seek out the Fetească Neagră masterclass track—it's where local enologists reveal why this indigenous variety punches above its international profile, and small producers pour pre-release samples. Arm yourself with tasting notes on Rară Neagră beforehand; it's criminally underrated and many exhibitors will engage deeply if you show genuine curiosity.
