Vinaria Poiana
Winery with a restaurant in a clearing at Ulmu · praised view, contested service
A white or red set menu served with the house wines, on the terrace, overlooking the vines
Worth it for the setting and the view, if you go with patience and book ahead. Several reviews describe long waits and uneven service, so it is not the choice for a day on a tight schedule.
Winery with a restaurant at Ulmu, Ialoveni district, in a forest clearing. It runs Wednesday to Friday from 13:00 to 22:00 and from 11:00 at weekends, closed Monday and Tuesday. Reviews split sharply. The good ones praise the view over the vines, the white menu served with a cheese platter and a digestif, and unhurried coordination at celebration meals. The bad ones target the service: a family of eight adults and three children writes that it waited over two hours, with dishes brought one at a time, a couple arriving at 19:30 was told the kitchen was no longer taking orders even though the place is open until 22:00, and one review reports water on the toilet floor, still there two hours later. The same review disputes the tasting format, saying no bottle was left at the table afterwards, as is usual at other wineries.

“We celebrated my sister’s birthday yesterday (24.01.26) at Poiana Vinery with our family-and it was simply amazing. From the service to the food, the ambience, the care, the attention to detail, and the warmth - everything was outstanding. From the moment we walked in, we knew we were going to have a fabulous time. The wine and the food were exceptional. Everyone knew exactly…”
“We arrived at this place with my husband at 7:30 PM, dressed in business casual. Upon entering, no one greeted us, and we had to look for staff ourselves. Eventually, an unidentified staff member, who did not even introduce himself, approached us and informed us that the kitchen was no longer accepting orders, and only drinks were available, even though the restaurant is open u…”
“My belly and soul is full! The service is top-tier, thanks to the polite staff. I'm super satisfied with the white wine and white menu (01). The cheese platter and digestif (rose and grapefruit liquor) were such a nice touch. And they refill water all the time. The views on the vineyards are superb.”
