Wine Tasting Rooms

Every villager’s house in Moldova has a “wine tasting room”, which is the “garlici” of the cellar (the room at the entrance to the cellar where the wine is kept).

Moldovan wineries are renowned for their wine tasting rooms, which are tastefully and skillfully decorated. These rooms themselves are works of art. The world’s first cosmonaut, Yuri Gagarin, said in regard to the Cricova wine tasting rooms: “It is harder to leave Cricova then to leave Earth”.

The Cojusna winery has two tasting rooms decorated in gothic style. Milestii Mici winery has three gorgeous tasting rooms in Byzantine style. The wineries in Chisinau – “VISMOS”, “Aroma”, the National Institute of Wine and Vineyards and Stauceni - have many rooms decorated in styles varying from Roman to the typical designs of the times of the great rulers of Moldova - Stephen the Great, Mihai Viteazul and Dmitri Cantemir.

There is also impressive architecture to admire in the tasting rooms, which have collections of rare wines and where you can buy your favourites, at Ialoveni, Cricova, Acorex, Branesti, Orhei, Balti, Calarasi, Hincesti, Bardar, Carpineni, Tiraspol, Dubasari, Comrat, Taraclia, Ceadir-Lunga, Basarabeasca, Cimislia, Cahul, Trifesti, Vulcanesti and Slobozia.
