Asconi Winery, Puhoi

This a very interesting place, 30 minutes drive from edge of Chișinău. Over the years, I have visited the place with numerous occasions, including family events, work related activities (retreats, etc). The restaurant atmosphere is traditional, very cozy. There is a shop where you can buy discounted wines. I had also done the tour of the factory a few times. This could give you an insight into how wine is made. It gest busy during the weekend. It is probably best to reserve a table in advance. Last time, we just came in. I think I liked the place better when it was less popular. Of course, this is selfish on my side. Food is great. Portions are decent in size. We always got some food for home. Service is also great. Of course, once there, you need to taste the wine. I would not hesitate to take my friends there.

Large territory with beautiful landscaping, manufacturing facilities, several restaurants, guest houses and a tasting room. The wine production is about 4.5 million bottles per year. I recommend to visit and taste as many wines as possible. And also do not miss the chance to dine in one of the restaurants, the local food is nourishing and tasty.
