01
An estate with history
Purcari traces its history to 1827. Today Château Purcari combines a working winery, the character of a historic estate and the quiet landscape of south-east Moldova.
02
More than cellars
This is not simply an underground stop but an unhurried estate visit. Programmes may combine production, cellars, tasting and time around the grounds; choose the exact format when reserving.
03
The journey is part of the day
Purcari is considerably farther from Chisinau than Cricova or Mileștii Mici, so it works best as a dedicated day trip. Allow extra travel time and avoid a tightly scheduled evening back in the city.
04
Booking and safety
Confirm tour language, duration and tasting details directly with the winery. A transfer or designated driver is sensible when tasting; also ask ahead about arrangements for children.
