Château Vartely- Wine With Love To You from Moldova

Château Vartely aims to grow into the jewel of the wine industry in Moldova, and consequently become the country’s premier tourist destination.

The name Vartely originates from the name of the town Orhei that in Hungarian means “place of the fortress”. The brand Château Vartely was developed and launched in 2004. Its slogan says “Wine with love to you”, because every noble wine produced at Château Vartely has a part of the heart and dedication of those working here.

In 2004 there had been floated the Château Vartely Company, which had already gained an international distinction; and in 2008 there had appeared a Touristic Complex, equipped with all the necessities for their guests.
