01
Architecture of a wine estate
Castel Mimi stands out for its architecture. Its historic cellars are associated with Constantin Mimi, a winemaker and public figure who developed an estate that was modern for its time.
02
The shape of a visit
Tours combine the building’s story, wine production, cellars and tasting. The estate rewards a slower pace, so leave time after the formal tour to take in the architecture and grounds.
03
How to plan the day
Bulboaca lies east of Chisinau. The train can be an appealing alternative to driving, but check the timetable for your exact date and plan the return journey in advance.
04
What to check ahead
Visit details need to be checked in advance. Compare language, duration, tasting details and availability for your date. Parts of the estate may operate differently on event days.
