The story

Wine Picnic Chisinau in Chisinau

Wine Picnic is a picnic-style wine festival held at the Chisinau Botanical Garden, offering guided tastings led by the Sommelier School alongside nightly jazz concerts. The event includes a dedicated children's area and free entry to the festival grounds, making it a relaxed alternative to Moldova's larger National Wine Day celebration held each October. Visitors gather on the garden lawns to sample regional wines while enjoying live music into the evening.

Wine Picnic unfolds each year on the grounds of the Chisinau Botanical Garden, part of the Academy of Sciences, where paths wind between trees and cultivated plots that make an unusual but fitting backdrop for wine tasting.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

What sets Wine Picnic apart from Moldova's other wine celebrations is its relaxed, informal format inside the greenery of the Chisinau Botanical Garden rather than a formal exhibition hall

02

The mystery stays covered

Tastings are guided by instructors from the Sommelier School, giving casual visitors a chance to learn proper tasting technique alongside seasoned wine drinkers

03

The city starts moving

Evenings shift toward entertainment, with jazz musicians performing under the trees as the crowd continues sampling

04

The water draws everyone in

A children's area lets families attend together rather than splitting up for the day

05

The old stones answer

Because entry to the grounds is free, the festival draws a broader, more casual audience than the ticketed National Wine Day held in October, positioning it as a summer counterpart rather than a competitor
