“It's a family place is a must for wine and food lovers. We visited this place with a very short appointment, but the owners welcomed us with great hospitality. The wines are well made, interesting, sometimes stand out from other Moldavian wines. Wine is ideal for local food, you can try there. Next time we will definitely return to this place.”
“This family run vineyard is an absolute must visit. The couple that owns/runs the vineyard takes you around town a bit and is very knowledgable on the history of the area. Then take you to their property where you do a wine tasting and have an incredible meal. I'm not sure what was more delicious the meal or the wine. The wine is amazing though! I am a big lover for Cabernet…”
“KaraGani is Vulkanesti's top winery in the south of Moldova, located in the country’s semi-autonomous Gagauzia region. With two-day's notice, the husband-and-wife team will prepare an incredible selection of Gagauzian dishes using local ingredients from nearby farms. Their wines are excellent, as are their nastoiki (infused alcohol).”
