Via Wine Bar
Wine bar on Hajdeu, small Moldovan wineries only, with tastings by the glass
A flight of small Moldovan wineries, explained by someone who knows them
Worth it for the small-winery selection and for the people who explain it, praised in every review. Any wine can be had by the glass, which is rare.
Wine bar on Alexandru Hajdeu street, a short walk from the centre, open daily until 22:00. It is the highest-rated wine bar in the catalogue, and every review says the same thing: you come here for small Moldovan wineries and for the people who explain them to you. The selection is made up of labels that, one guest says, you will not find anywhere else, and another describes it as a place where you discover hidden gems among the local wines. What is mentioned as rare: any wine in the large selection can be had by the glass or as a flight, which one guest says does not usually happen in a wine shop. The staff are what gets written about most. A general manager of a wine company, himself a winemaker starting out, recounts that he expected a few samples and got an experience he says he will never forget, feeling treated like a special guest. Another guest describes encyclopaedic knowledge of the wines of Moldova and the surrounding region, and a third says that from now on this will be the only wine bar they visit in Chișinău. Light bites are served too.

“I came by this cozy wine bar for a short tasting on a Sunday afternoon. As a general manager of a wine company and also being a (beginner) winemaker for me it is very difficult to find a place which can amaze me from the first moment. At Via Wine Bar I felt like a VIP guest. Instead of having just a few samples of wines Dana turned this experience into something I will never fo…”
“A great selection of small Moldovan wineries. The owner is very professional and passionate. Among the local wines, you can discover some hidden gems. A must-visit for any wine lover who wants to explore local wines. It’s also just a short walk from the city center.”
“Dana, one of the main staff members, has an encyclopaedic knowledge of wines from Moldova and the surrounding region. She’s extremely pleasant. You’ll find wines here you won’t find anywhere else and the selections by the glass are extensive. Tewa wines are showcased and highly recommended! Lite bites available as well.”
- Not suited to children, marked as such by Google
- The selection follows small wineries · if you want a big, well-known label, this is not the place
- No beer is served, per Google data
- The public reviews are few, so the rating rests on a small sample
