Grape Harvest Festival in Romania

September 13 · Level 6 · #1031 of 2238

Romania's grape harvest celebrations welcome the crop and the start of a new winemaking season. Local festivals bring growers, neighbours and visitors together to enjoy the flavours and traditions of the country's wine regions.

How it is celebrated: fairs offer grapes, fresh grape juice and local wines alongside folk music and dancing. Wineries welcome visitors and explain the journey from harvested fruit to finished wine.

A seasonal speciality is must: freshly pressed grape juice before it becomes wine. This sweet harvest drink offers a taste of the winery's new crop long before fermentation is complete.
