Beschrijving
Discover Moldova on a day trip from Iași. Visit the Căpriana Monastery, explore Chișinău, and tour the Castel Mimi château and cellars, complete with a wine tasting.
Cross the border into Moldova on a comprehensive day tour from Iași. Visit the historic Căpriana Monastery, explore Chișinău’s main landmarks, and enjoy a guided tasting of fine local wines at one of Moldova's premier estates.
Begin with a stop at Căpriana Monastery, one of Moldavia’s oldest spiritual anchors, nestled in the picturesque Codri forest. From there, head to Chișinău, a capital transformed during the 20th century. On a guided walk through the city center, discover its fascinating architectural contrast: wide Soviet-era boulevards alongside elegant 19th-century imperial landmarks.
The highlight of the day takes you to Castel Mimi in Bulboaca, one of the top architectural and wine estates in Eastern Europe. Built in 1893 by Constantin Mimi, the last tsarist governor of Bessarabia, this grand château was nationalized during the USSR era, and its historic facade was concealed for decades. Uncovered by chance in 2010 and meticulously restored by 2016, it now stands as a stunning boutique winery.
Tour the historic cellars, learn about its incredible rediscovery, and indulge in a guided tasting of premium Moldovan wines before your comfortable return transfer to Iași.
