Huși, an ancient episcopal see in the heart of Moldavia, is one of Romania's most celebrated wine capitals. Its reputation is built on the sun-drenched hills of the Bohotin vineyard, which produce the legendary 'Busuioacă de Bohotin,' a unique, aromatic rosé wine. The city's history is intertwined with its founder, Prince Stephen the Great, who established the bishopric and its cathedral in 1495. Huși also holds a place in European history as the site where the Treaty of the Pruth was signed in 1711, a pivotal moment in the conflict between the Russian and Ottoman Empires. While maintaining its deep roots in viticulture and religion, the city has a rich multicultural past, having been a significant home for Jewish and Hungarian communities over the centuries.
