Strawberry Day at Château Vartely

On June 8, in the heart of Moldova, Château Vartely in Orhei invites you to welcome summer in the most delightful way: with Strawberry Day, a festival that brings together the sweet flavor of fresh strawberries and the elegance of Moldovan sparkling wines. Now in its fourth edition, this event offers a full-day experience perfect for families, couples, and groups of friends.

Strawberry Day is all about the senses. Guests are greeted with a strawberry sangria welcome drink and can enjoy unlimited tastings of rosé and sparkling wines from the winery’s INSPIRO and TOTEM collections. The culinary highlight of the day is a generous serving of Spanish paella, prepared live on site, paired with fresh, locally grown strawberries.

Live music and vibrant rhythms fill the air throughout the day, turning the event into a true Moldovan-style fiesta with Mediterranean flair. Performances by local artists and Latin-inspired music create the perfect setting for dancing, relaxing, or simply enjoying the wine and scenery.

Set in the vineyard’s landscaped garden, the event features picnic areas, rustic tables, and themed decorations, making it the ideal space to unwind and enjoy a sunny afternoon in nature. Children are also well cared for, with creative workshops, interactive games, and supervision by professional animators.

In addition to music and food, visitors can join a guided tour of the winery, including the underground cellars and production facilities. A unique highlight is the interactive AR projection "The Legend of Wine", an innovative audiovisual experience available only at Château Vartely, which brings Moldova’s wine heritage to life through modern storytelling.

For photography lovers, themed photo zones are available throughout the venue. Guests can also use the on-site photo booth to take home instant memories of this special summer celebration.

Château Vartely is located just one hour from Chișinău, and transportation from the capital is available, making it easy and convenient to attend the event without the need to drive.
