On March 18, 2019, a round table was held in Odesa, within the framework of the pilot project “Roads of Wine and Taste of Bessarabia”, which will operate according to European norms and standards. Many issues of quality, certification, difficulties with the promotion of wine and gastronomy products for small entrepreneurs, etc. were considered.
Within the framework of the event, a memorandum was signed between the EU project and the NTOU on the implementation of the fourth component of the project, namely the development of the National Gastronomic Road System and the creation of an information resource www.winetasteroutes.ua.
Based on international experience, gastronomic routes are divided into Wines Roads, Roads of Taste, Roads of Wine and Taste. They serve as tools for the creation and commercialization of enogastronomic routes, as a tourist offer. Therefore, their introduction, promotion and development are important for the tourist potential of destinations.
