The winery is set to be opened for tourists in 2022.
“We have three wineries and we are very close to completing a new one for tourists. We do not have our own accommodation capacities, but there are many nearby. Considerable sums are invested in the new winery and we will undoubtedly hire more people in 2022,” said Stefan Chiritescu, marketing manager at Cotnari.
Cotnari group has 1,800 hectares of vineyard and sells 17 million liters of wine annually. With the opening of its own online store in 2020, online sales have come to weigh 10% in total sales this year.
The company also exports part of production in European countries with Romanian communities. China is also a major market.
Cotnari’s investment budget for 2022 is relatively similar with that of previous years, but now a significant part will go to the development of new products.
