Came across this ad on Western wine resources — the warm-up is even on Vivino.

In Moldova, the so-called Wine Days are being held for the twenty-fifth time this year.
As always, expect the city center to be closed off, a bunch of wineries from all over the country, lots of food and dancing.

I talked about how Wine Day went in 2024 here.

Entering Moldova seems to have become a bit easier, especially if you have sufficient grounds for entry from a customs point of view. But in any case, it's better to assess all the risks yourself.

In the worst case, you'll be sent back to Baku, Yerevan, Istanbul, Antalya, or Tbilisi for free, which isn't the worst option either.

In Chisinau in early October it's very nice: it's no longer hot during the day, and the evenings are still gently warm 🫶
