Wine for Restaurants, Hotels & Cafes
We supply hospitality businesses directly from the estate. No brokers, no intermediaries — just estate-grown Codru wines, sommelier-ready documentation, and a winemaker you can call.
Supplying the Hospitality Sector
Aproape works directly with restaurants, boutique hotels, wine bars, and catering operations across Europe. Our wines are estate-grown in Hirova, Codru — Moldova's most distinctive wine region — and bottled on site. When you list an Aproape wine, your sommelier can tell a complete, verifiable story from vine to glass.
We understand what hospitality buyers need: consistent supply, competitive by-the-glass economics, reliable documentation, and a producer who responds quickly. Our HoReCa programme is designed around those requirements. We keep relationships small enough to remain personal and stock levels deep enough to support steady reordering.
Wine List Curation
We help hospitality buyers build a coherent, story-driven wine offering around Codru wines — from a single feature bottle to a full Moldovan section.
-
Curated portfolio selection matched to your menu and price tier
-
Food pairing guidance from the winemaker
-
Sommelier-ready tasting notes and tech sheets for every SKU
-
Producer narrative for wine list copy and staff briefing
Moldova is still a discovery story for most diners. That works in your favour — a Codru wine on your list stands out, prompts conversation, and gives your floor team something genuine to recommend. We provide the context and materials to make that conversation easy.
Volume Options
We supply HoReCa buyers in three standard formats, from introductory case orders to pallet programmes for established properties.
- 6–12 Case minimum (introductory)
Start with a mixed case selection to evaluate the range before committing to a list placement.
- 42 Cases per standard pallet
Standard reorder format for active list placements. Delivered to your cellar door on agreed incoterms.
- Mixed Multi-SKU pallet available
Split pallets across multiple wines for operators running a broader Codru selection.
We do not enforce rigid annual volume commitments with HoReCa buyers. Ordering is flexible and tied to your cellar stock and seasonal demand. Established partners receive priority access during harvest allocation. Lead times from order confirmation to dispatch are typically 5 business days ex-cellar.
Staff Training Support
We support your floor team and sommelier programme with practical resources, not just a price list.
-
Guided staff tastings, in person or via video call
-
Digital training materials: varietal guides, region overview, producer story
-
Winery visit for key accounts — come to Codru and taste at the source
-
Direct access to the winemaker for technical questions
Staff who understand a wine sell it more confidently and more often. We make the training easy: a one-hour guided tasting with your team covers the range, the region, and the food pairing logic. All materials are available in English, Romanian, and Russian. For key accounts, we arrange in-person visits to the estate in Hirova — a memorable experience that translates directly into better storytelling on the floor.
Partnership Benefits
What you get when you list Codru wines from Aproape.
-
Direct producer relationship — no broker, no intermediary, no delay
-
Full traceability from estate vineyard to your glass rack
-
Distinctive wines your guests are unlikely to find elsewhere
-
Flexible volume and reorder terms that fit hospitality rhythms
We are selective about the hospitality partners we work with — not based on size, but on fit. If you are a single-restaurant operator who wants one genuinely interesting wine on your list, or a hotel group building a regional wine programme, we are open to the conversation. The right match matters more than the volume.
