Why it’s worth visiting

Worth seeking out for small-batch author wines with an ethnographic identity - found through specialist shops and themed tastings rather than at the cellar door.

The story

Etnovin is a boutique author winery founded in 2017 in Cricova, where oenologist Mihai Măciucă makes artisanal wines in small batches. Every label carries a name and a symbol from folk culture - Ciuleandra, Viață Lungă, Amintiri, Pe Cal Alb, Cărări - a bridge between village tradition and contemporary wine. It is a niche production with no tasting space for visitors.
