Rasova Winery, a wine business developed by the Ghiuri family in the Dobrogea region, aims to build a hotel near the winery as its next expansion step. The project comes as the company’s cumulative investments in the winery and viticulture have reached approximately EUR 15 million to date.
The company offers tourist and corporate packages, providing transport for clients from Bucharest and Constanța, but developing a hotel has become a priority due to the current lack of accommodation capacity. According to statements made by Zoe Ghiuri, co-founder of Rasova Winery, during an info trip organized by ANAT and OMD Tulcea Municipality, the investment in the future hotel is estimated at around EUR 5 million. Although the company intended to access EUR 1 million in funding through the Regional Operational Programme (POR) last year, management decided to postpone submitting the project while waiting for a more advantageous funding source relative to the total cost of the project. The business was launched in 2014, following an initial investment of approximately EUR 4 million and an area of 18 hectares, subsequently expanding its cultivated area through new plantings and leasing.
