Castel Mimi
A late-19th-century castle-style winery, restored into a complex with tasting rooms, a restaurant and a hotel. It's Moldova's most photogenic winery.
This castle-style winery was built in 1893 by Constantin Mimi, the last governor of Bessarabia, and reopened in 2016 after restoration. The castle exterior, underground cellars and vineyard views are all very photogenic. It offers several wine-tasting tours, a restaurant and boutique accommodation, and it often hosts music and food events in summer. Reservations are required in advance. Located in Bulboaca village about 45 km from Chișinău, it can be combined with Bender Fortress on the same day.
