Stories of the nominees

VinOpera at Castel Mimi. 7th Release!

Moldova

The start of September was exceptionally eventful for Castel Mimi Wine Resort (Moldova).

On the first day of his visit to the Republic of Moldova, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk chose Castel Mimi Wine Resort for a dinner with members of the delegations of both countries.

The guests of the castle enjoyed exquisite dishes accompanied by high-quality Castel Mimi wines  which guests at several WTA events in different countries have already become acquainted with. After the meal, paying tribute to Moldovan hospitality, Mr. Tusk left a positive review in the guest book: “Wonderful moments in a charming place and in distinguished company.”

Castel Mimi

Just two days later, Castel Mimi—celebrated as one of the Top 15 Architectural Masterpieces of the Wine World—hosted the gala of the International Classical Music Festival, VinOpera.

Opera music in such grand settings is truly a unique event that the entire Republic of Moldova takes pride in. For the seventh year, this event celebrates the elegance of classical music and the excellence of local wines.

Over the past three years, this distinguished global wine event has consistently participated in the WTA awards, making full use of available promotional options – from its listing in the nominees’ catalog distributed at prominent global exhibitions to its involvement in every tasting of this pioneering project.
