ANTRIM and Doina Vin: the GROW Moldova project

In 2025 Doina Vin was one of the 20 beneficiaries of the GROW Moldova grant programme, run by ANTRIM with funding from UMAEF; within the project the winery hosted a familiarisation trip for tourism professionals in June 2025.

What ANTRIM does and the winery's project
Doina Vin is not an ANTRIM member: the relation is that of a grant beneficiary and the host of a jointly organised trip.
