Autumn begins with the scent of ripe grapes and warm light filtering through the leaves. In the air – the clinking of glasses, soft jazz tunes, and the anticipation of those who know that behind every bottle lies a story. Welcome to the Author’s Wine Festival, 3rd edition – the only place in Moldova where wine introduces itself with a signature.

The Author’s Wine Festival celebrates wine as a statement – created by people who embrace the role of author and sign each bottle as a personal masterpiece. Here, quality comes before quantity: wines crafted for taste and thoughtful enjoyment, without excess.

Why you should come:
Discover over 35 wineries – some family-owned, others boutique – presenting their limited edition wines with distinct character, rarely found in retail.
Talk directly with winemakers and learn how terroir, passion, and attention to detail transform into bottled authenticity rather than mass production.
Learn at masterclasses led by sommeliers how to recognize an author’s wine and which aromas best complement it.
Enjoy carefully curated menus in the gourmet food court, where every pairing is a culinary experience.
Feel the vibe of the day with live music and sunset DJ sets that blend perfectly with the aromas in your glass.
End your week in the relaxing lounge areas, capture special moments in photo corners, and let the little ones enjoy creative workshops made just for them – the whole family is welcome!
And most importantly, become part of a refined community of wine lovers, flavor seekers, and true connaisseurs who appreciate not only what tastes good, but what holds a story.

The Author’s Wine Festival doesn’t pursue volume – it celebrates the truth of taste. Come and discover liquid signatures, meet the people behind the labels, and find out why a personalized wine can say more about Moldova than any tourist guide ever could.

We invite you to join us on September 6–7 for a glass of good conversation – and more – in the courtyard of the National Museum of History of Moldova.

This event comes to life thanks to the passion of the Association of Small Wine Producers of Moldova – Vin de Autor, with the support of Victoriabank as the main partner, and in partnership with the National Office of Vine and Wine, UMAEF, the National Association for Inbound and Domestic Tourism, BASF Agricultural Solutions Moldova, and SUPRATEN – all sharing the same belief: that authentic wine deserves a festival to match.
