Wineries & Wine Cellars

Grape growing and winemaking in the territory of modern day Moldova began 4,000 to 5,000 years ago when the Dacian people discovered how to make wine from grapes. Winemaking intensified when Greek settlers, who had arrived on the Black Sea coast by end of the 3rd century BC, brought with them their own winemaking traditions and shared them with the local people. Under the prosperous times of Roman Empire rule over this territory around 100 AD, winemaking intensified even more.
