Founded in 1994, the Association of Authorized Tasters in Romania was formed by the first generation of graduates of the courses at the Institute of Viticulture and Winemaking, later taken over by the University of Agronomic Sciences and Veterinary Medicine Bucharest. Out of the 500 authorized tasters in Romania, 150 are today members of ADAR – oenologists, winery owners, engineers, sales directors, or university professors. <\/span><\/p>\n

On this occasion, the association inaugurates the ADAR Gala, which aims to be “the beginning of a tradition to award excellence in this field.” Happy anniversary, ADAR! <\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

ADAR’s role is to support authorized tasters, maintain their tasting training, deepen the study of wine, provide expertise in national and international wine competitions, and allow the exchange of information and ideas among its members. And when it comes to members, it must be said that ADAR is a true epicenter of the wine world, bringing together top oenologists, winery owners, the elite of the academic world, and renowned wine journalists. <\/span><\/p>\n

Association members meet quarterly, usually at a winery, rotating through winemaking regions, and meetings last 2-3 days during which thematic tasting sessions are organized or new arrivals on the market are examined, but there are also discussions about current issues.<\/span><\/p>\n

ADAR members are essential in the juries of regional, national, or international wine competitions, their expertise being recognized worldwide – the latest example being the title of “benchmark taster” obtained by Valentin Ceafalau at the Concours Mondial du Bruxelles.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

“ADAR has played an essential role in the development and consolidation of the wine market in Romania, <\/span>through its certification and continuous training programs, the association contributing to the increase in the number of <\/span> authorized tasters and the promotion of high standards in the evaluation of wines. This <\/span>increase in expertise has had a significant impact on the quality of Romanian wine products. From tastings to conferences and exhibitions, the association has managed to bring together enthusiasts, professionals, and producers under <\/span>he same umbrella, creating an environment conducive to the exchange of <\/span>ideas and experiences. <\/span><\/p>\n

On the occasion of the 30th anniversary of its activity, the association organizes the first edition of the <\/span>ADAR Gala, a celebration of excellence in the Romanian wine industry. The Gala, which will take place on March 15, <\/span>2024, at Casino Sinaia, highlights the recognition and awarding of the best wines <\/span>and personalities in the wine industry, underlining their significant contribution to the evolution and promotion of <\/span> Romanian wines nationally and internationally. In addition to ADAR members, wine producers and other industry professionals are expected to attend the gala: <\/span>oenologists, viticulturists, sommeliers, wine distributors, and merchants,” writes Diana Pavelescu, <\/span>one of the ADAR experts, in the anniversary article published on the association’s website. <\/span>

Although they are no longer with us, two wine professionals have left their mark on ADAR and the entire wine market in Romania – Professor Viorel Stoian, author of the Great Book of Wine Tasting, oenology professor, honorary president of ADAR, and recipient of the OIV award, and Lucia Parvu, organizer of the first modern wine fairs in Timisoara (VinVest) and later in Bucharest (We Love Romanian Wine) ..<\/span><\/p>\n

We cannot name and describe all 150 members of the association here, to whom we offer a salute, but we feel obliged to mention at least some of the names you may have encountered in Wines of Romania<\/strong> podcasts and articles, or who are expected to be guests on our channels.<\/span><\/p>\n
