Large winery in the south, with five cellars · closed at weekends
A tour through the five large cellars, with a tasting and food on site
Worth it for the scale of the place and for the wines, praised in every review. Check the hours first: it is closed on Saturday and Sunday.
Winery in the village of Tomai, in the south of the country, open on weekdays until 17:00 and closed at weekends. One detailed review describes what you see there: it is one of the largest wineries in Moldova, with workshops where the grapes are received and processed, five large cellars where the wine is processed, stored and matured, and a modern bottling workshop. The wines are praised in every review. A visitor who says they have tasted wine in many countries calls a dry Cabernet from 2006 the wine with the most character they have drunk in forty-five years of life. Another recounts coming with family, meeting the owner and being surprised at how welcoming the people were, and that a year after the visit they still had two bottles at home, a Busuioacă and a Chardonnay, kept for the right moment. The food served during the visit is described as tasty.

“I had the pleasure of visiting this lovely place with my family and met the owner during a trip. I was surprised how welcoming and friendly were people I've met there. The wine is impeccable, food tasteful and delicious. One year later since my visit, two bottles of Busuioca & Shardone wine still rest in my house awaiting for the right moment... that's the last one.”
“First of all, greetings, I have had the chance to taste wine in many countries around the world. The one I have tasted recently and the one with the most character in my 45 years of life is the 2006 Tomaı dry Cabernet. I had tasted a Sicilia Carricante 12 years ago, but it was not this touching. Thank you for your efforts, may your path be clear. Thank you.”
