The story

Vinum Estate is a family winery led by Vladlen Ujacov, an eighth-generation viticulturist (a tradition dating to 1806), with the cellar in Chișinău and vineyards in the Codru and Valul lui Traian regions. Since 2015 it has made premium limited-edition wines — around 25,000 bottles a year — dry whites, complex reds aged in French and American oak, and sparkling wines by the traditional and ancestral methods (the Spumant Viu collection, among the first modern Pét-Nats in Moldova). It has won over 90 medals. Visits by appointment.
