From grapes to wine: the work in the vineyard

Viniculture was a must for the people living in Târnave Valley. It took almost one whole year of labor, hope, proper weather and support from the community to work the land, harvest the crops and make wine. Both men and women did the work in the vineyard from early February to November. October was usually the time of harvesting, a great celebration which included also children, youngsters and elder people, which combined work with songs and joyful traditional utters and even parties at the end of harvesting.

Several noble wine varieties were produces in the area, such as: Fetească Albă, Fetească Regală, Neuburger, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Muscat Ottonel.
