Fautor Winery
Winery at Tigheci, in the south, open on weekdays only
A visit with explanations of the production and a tasting, with a Rara Neagră praised explicitly in reviews
Worth it if southern wines interest you and you can come on a weekday. Do call ahead: one review describes two wasted trips, with no hours posted at the gate.
Winery in the village of Tigheci, in the south of the country, about 78 km from Chișinău, open Monday to Friday from 9:00 to 18:00 and closed at weekends. One visitor describes it as among the most appreciated wineries in Moldova, with detailed, professional explanations from the staff and the chance to see the production process and to taste. Another guest specifically praises a Rara Neagră wine, which they consider among the best Eastern European wines on the market. Worth knowing before you set off, from a two-star review: one visitor followed the tourist sign in Iargara and tried twice, on a Sunday and a Monday, but found the gate closed, with no opening hours posted anywhere and no contact number. Call ahead and come on a weekday.

“Followed the touristic sign in Iargara village, but wasn't fortunate enough to get there when it's open. I've tried 2 times, Sunday and Monday, but no luck and no working hours schedule is posted anywhere on the gates :(. So unfortunately the touristic sign didn't work as it was intended :(. As suggestion - maybe it would be worth to post working hours or contact phone on the g…”
“The "Aurore, Rara Neagra" is one of the best autonomous, Eastern European wines on the market. It rivals some bold California reds in its intensity, complexity of flavors and well-balanced nature. Very, very good wine!”
