Book Your Gold Event Package in Calarasi, Moldova with Varoom
Discover the craft of Divin - Moldova’s traditional brandy - on a tasting experience led by the sommelier of S.A. “Barza Alba” (The White Stork), a historic producer founded in 1944 in Balti; you’ll learn to distinguish the types, aromas, colours and flavours of Divin, brandy and apple rachiu, and hear the story of how this double‑distilled wine spirit is aged for at least three years in oak barrels; the name itself, “Divin” (literally “din vin” - “from wine” and also “divine”), reflects both its winemaking origin and the cherished quality that comes with part of the spirit evaporating over time, and you can book this hands‑on tasting through Varoom when planning your visit to Calarasi, Republic of Moldova, making it easy to pair local accommodation with an authentic behind‑the‑scenes look at one of the region’s signature drinks at Barza Alba.
