Gagauzia Culture COMRAT MOLDOVA | BEST FREE WINE FESTIVAL IN EUROPE

Gagauzia Wine Festival 2019. An amazing day spent experiencing the incredible culture, hospitality and wine of the Gagauz people in Comrat.

The festival is held on the first Sunday of November every year, and it is definitely worth coming to Comrat for the festivities! As well as music, dancing and cultural displays, there is a vast amount of delicious wines on offer to taste and buy. Also, you can sample the amazing local food produced by each Gagauzian village.

This event is free to attend and was a highlight of our experience travelling in Moldova.

The autonomous region of Gagauzia is a fascinating anomaly in Europe. 83% of the Gagauzian people are Oghuz Turks who speak an archaic form of Turkish, but are Orthodox Christians. They have a unique culture which they are very proud of, and which is fascinating to see.

Come to the Gagauzia Wine festival... you will not be disappointed!!

Oh how I miss Gagauzia sometimes.
I only spent 9 months living in Ciadir-Lunga (about an hour south of Contact if you take the bus) and often went to Comrat as well.
The people there are amazing especially when celebrating. I will never forget my time there.
Thank you for posting this video.
