Wine, Strangers & Romanian Grapes ๐ท
โA wine-on-the-terrace evening where weโll learn about Romanian wines while pretending we can detect โnotes of cherry and oak.โ
โ
โThis will be a fun evening for curious people who want to:
โ๐ท meet new people
โ๐ discover Romanian wines
โ๐ learn a few things they can casually mention at dinner parties later
โSo we're combining two of our favorite things:
โGreat conversations + great wine.
โ**see what people have said about my events at 3rdspacebucharest.com
โWhat Is This?
โA 3rd Space Bucharest cocktail party for people who enjoy learning and socializing.
โYou'll spend the evening meeting 25 interesting strangers through guided icebreakers and relaxed conversations.
โIn addition, we'll explore the surprisingly fascinating world of Romanian wine with certified sommelier and wine expert Mirela Mateescu.
โNo prior wine knowledge required.
โYou are allowed to simply say, "I like this one."
โ*Includes 4x tasting pours: 1 to 3 oz
โWhat You'll Learn
โBy the end of the evening you'll finally understand:
โA guided tasting of Romanian wines
โInteresting people
โProfessional wine vocabulary is optional. Enjoying yourself is not.

โMeet Your Wine Guide
โMirela Mateescu is one of the most respected wine professionals in Romania.
โShe's a certified sommelier, wine curator, auctioneer, international wine judge, and currently completing her WSET Diploma through the Wine & Spirit Education Trust in London.
โTranslation:
โIf you have a wine question, there's a good chance Mirela knows the answer.
โAnd thankfully, she explains wine like a normal human.
โWho Should Come?
โYou should join us if:
โโ You enjoy meeting interesting people
โโ You like wine
โโ You want to learn something new
โโ You've ever nodded confidently while someone talked about wine and secretly had no clue what they were talking about
โโ You think a Thursday is more fun when it includes strangers and Romanian wine
โWhat Makes This Different?
โMost networking events feel like LinkedIn with alcohol.
โMost wine events feel like homework.
โThis is neither.
โIt's a small, curated gathering designed around conversation, curiosity, and shared experiences.
โThe wine is simply the excuse.
โThe people are the reason you'll stay.
โWarning
โSide effects may include:
โ๐ท discovering your new favorite Romanian wine
โ๐ making unexpected friends
โ๐ง becoming dangerously confident around restaurant wine lists
โ๐ staying longer than you planned
โ๐๏ธ Limited to approximately 25 guests.
โBecause better conversations happen in smaller rooms.
