Hill&Valley Agro Retreat

Hill&Valley is a family owned eco-farm with a vineyard and an event space, on the road between Samananca and Orhei, within the bounds of Teleseu village, 31 km from the centre of Chisinau in a straight line. According to the site, the farm sits on the edge of the Codru forest, has trails running down to a quiet lake, and its terrace looks over the valley, old nut orchards and the village. The site also gives the driving directions: north on the M2 to Peresecina, then the roundabout towards Donici, just past the village of Samananca. This is not a place with daily opening hours. Google lists none, and the site says that until the official launch the farm runs limited private events with the occasional public preview. Public events are announced on the site and paid for online. The site archive lists Harvest Experience, Jazz at Sunset, Easter Egg Hunt, Gradina Secreta, open air concerts and workshops, with tickets between 100 and 950 MDL per person depending on the event, and a free ticket tier at a few of them. For the Harvest Experience in August 2026 the site lists 10:00 to 15:30 and includes a tractor ride through the vineyard, grape picking and crushing, a floral workshop, a workshop on making sarmale in grape leaves, and lunch at a communal table with zeama, oven baked meat with potatoes, vegetables, boiled corn and one glass of wine or compote. The listed price is 950 MDL per person, half price for children aged 5 to 12, and the site notes that places are limited. For private bookings the site offers the outdoor areas for a wedding, a birthday or team building. One review describes an afternoon with good food, traditional dances, a treasure hunt, grape stomping, music and wine. The main warning comes from a 3 star review: in the colder months there is no warm place to eat and not much to do, and the author guesses it is probably not so bad in the summer.
