Carpe Diem Wine Bar
Wine bar and shop on Columna · pick the bottle off the shelf and drink it there
Pick the bottle straight off the shelf and drink it at the table, with a cheese and charcuterie board
Worth it if you want to explore Moldovan wine slowly and without noise. Note that tastings are now on the house own wines rather than outside labels.
Wine bar and shop in the same space, on Columna street near the centre, open daily from 11:00 to 23:00. You pick your bottle off the shelf and drink it there, by the glass or by the bottle, inside or at the outdoor tables, with a cheese and charcuterie board if you are hungry. Reviews praise the selection of Moldovan wines, staff who know them and explain them, fair prices and the quiet of the place, described as tucked away from the bustle of the centre. A more recent review flags a change: tastings are now done on the house own wines rather than labels picked from outside, which the writer regrets. Google notes free parking, reservations, outdoor seating, no dogs and no children profile.

“It’s quieter than most spots near the city center, offering a broad selection of wines and a pleasant outdoor seating area. I highly recommend it if you’re looking for a discreet, tucked-away place to catch up or simply enjoy a drink without interruptions.”
“Small cosy wine bar/shop near the center of Chisinau with a nice selection of wines from Moldova. You can go and pick your bottle and sit, relax and sip it. If you are hungry you can get a cheese and meat board for picking. The staff were friendly and the atmosphere nice.”
