What visitors wrote

“One of the places why you want to come to Moldova. Wine here is gold and people here are diamonds. Came here after Cricova, while their wine is of a decent quality but no comparison to the products from this small winery. Luca's family does know how to make perfect wine. And you can see that wine is made with mixing advanced technologies and warmth of their hearts.”

“If you go to Cricova to see the Cricova winery, you should also pay a visit to this winery, Luca. It's very small scale, but their wine is very delicious, and sold in different countries all over the world. I was very lucky to meet the owner. He speaks Romanian, English, German and Russian.”

“Passion of wine leaves in Casa Vinícola , and you feel it the very moment you pass the gate. Sparkling dry is delicious made in the pure tradition of méthode champenoise. The perfumes of aging wine in the cellar are magic.”
