Moldova Wine Cellars & Southern Wineries
From the underground cellars of Chisinau to the wineries on the banks of the Dniester, with an overnight stay in Purcari.
A short holiday centered around wineries: spend the first two nights in Chisinau to visit the underground cellars of Mileștii Mici and Cricova, then head south to Castel Mimi and Purcari, staying overnight at the winery. Wine tastings are scheduled daily, so hiring a car with a driver is highly recommended; self-driving is not advised. This itinerary skips Old Orhei and the north, making it ideal for couples and friends with a keen interest in wine.
September to October is the harvest season, and the National Wine Day is held in October. Cellar tours must be booked at least one week in advance.
