National Wine Day (Ziua Națională a Vinului)
Moldova's biggest annual celebration of its winemaking heritage takes over central Chișinău for two days. Over 70 wineries set up tasting pavilions, with folk music, traditional food, and grape-treading contests. The event highlights Moldova's 5,000-year winemaking tradition and its massive underground cellars at Mileștii Mici and Cricova.
