Experience Details

Day Tour: Old Orhei Monasteries Complex & Brănești Cellar Wine Tasting


Embark on a scenic tour to the Old Orhei Monasteries Complex, a fascinating historical site, followed by a wine tasting at Pivnitele from Brănești Winery, nestled in the forest near Orheiul Vechi in Brănești village.


Explore the unique Orhei Cave Monastery, the charming village of Butuceni, and the breathtaking landscapes that are unlike anything else in Moldova. Afterward, you'll head to the winery for an unforgettable experience.

These halls are beautifully decorated with wood and metal, showcasing themes related to vine cultivation and winemaking. Enjoy lunch at the Stone Age Complex of Pivnitele from Brănești Winery, where, thanks to the lack of internet and mobile phone signals, you can fully disconnect from the modern world and enjoy the peaceful surroundings away from city noise.
