Romanian Wine Harvest Festival

As in every autumn, the Romanian Wine Harvest Festival marked the first weekend of October. It was an absolutely impressive event, in which approximately 300 participants from Austria, Hungary, Moldawia, Slovenia, Serbia, and Romania full heart lived two fairy days of chivalrous friendship created around The Noble Wine.

The first day was dedicated in a relaxed setting to the Harvest Celebration: the guests were spoiled with traditional Romanian cookery and wines from representative vineyards, partners of the event. The ritualistic component took place the second day. The historical center of Bucharest was overwhelmed by a huge knightly parade (a kilometer long!) which seemed to be endless.

The final point of the celebration of wine and friendship was hosted by the elegant Atlas Hall of Radisson Blu Hotel. The guests enjoyed a fine dining menu paired with the best Romanian wines and a special musical show (some 10 distinguished artists), a trendy fashion catwalk being the surprise of the evening.

October 2-3, 2026, will be the next edition of the Romanian Wine Harvest Festival,    BOOK THE DATE !
