The activities scheduled for October 3 and 4 include masterclasses at the *Wine School*, guided tours, tastings, performances, and other cultural events, including forming the world's largest human grapevine.

For the second time in the history of the Republic of Moldova, our country will enter the Guinness Book of World Records by creating a human grapevine of impressive scale.

Event participants will form this symbolic shape: the root will point toward the Triumphal Arch, while the upper part will face the Government building.
