In July, we celebrate the “Sânzienele,” or good fairies, as they are called by the locals.

On 6 July, we urge you to wear white or a traditional shirt and spend a summer evening with live music, dancing the hore of the fairies around the bonfires lit at Castel Mimi Wine Resort.

The host of the event, influencer Cristina Evtodii, is waiting for you from 17.00 to weave together wreaths of lavender flowers and enjoy unlimited white wine made from the local grape varieties Fetească Albă, Fetească Regală and Viorica, called “Sânzienele.” This wine was also served and highly appreciated by the dignitaries at the EPC Summit held on 1 June 2023 at Castel Mimi Wine Resort.

This year’s “Sânzienele Night” will be spiced with white wine, dishes at the Open Air Kitchen, and Ethno and Retro Pop music performed by Catharsis and Felicia Dunaf with the Dunaff Band. We will dance the dance of the mares together, guided by the Show Ballet “Non Format.”

Come with friends and family to experience the mysteries of Sânzienele and sip on refreshing white wine on a hot July evening.
