LISTEN ON:

In the new episode of Wines Of Romania Podcast, we invite you to meet Dan Balaban, co-owner of DAVINO winery.

Dan Balaban is among the first producers who had the vision of a Romanian wine worthy of being one of the world's top wines.

A central figure of the local wine, with a long list of innovations and awards, Dan is always attentive to market trends, helped by an oenologist and partner with deep roots in Dealu Mare. He is the man who transformed Davino from a small winery in a market of giants into an absolute landmark in the Romanian quality wine market.

About the effects of the pandemic or about what a premium wine really means, you can find out in episode 7 of the Wines of Romania Podcast, inspired by Deschidem Vinul Romanesc, the first national program dedicated equally to producers and consumers.

Wines of Romania brings to the microphone journalists, influencers, wine producers, oenologists, critics, top restaurant owners - in short, all those who can make their mark on the way Romanian wine is perceived, both in the country and in the world.
Discover the first podcast dedicated to Romanian wine in video and audio format on the most popular specialized platforms such as Spotify, YouTube, Google Podcasts, Apple Podcasts and www.WinesOfRomania.com.
