    “A wine festival?”

    I had heard stories of dodgy Romanian taxi drivers leading tourists on an unscheduled tour of the city before charging them five times the going rate, but this unheard of event was too good to pass up. It also went some way to explaining why town was so quiet.

    And sure enough the streets outside town were packed: live rock bands, circus rides and stall after stall of vendors offering the best street food and wine in the country. In fact, I’d have to say the mulled wine here was some of the best in Europe.

    I also had the chance to try several Moldovan reds: Moldova relaxes it’s normally strict visa requirements for the weeks surrounding it’s October wine festival and I’m planning on being there!
