The trip, in order

Follow the route day by day. Times and prices can change, so check official information before you travel.

Day 1

Asconi estate

Puhoi

  1. 1

    Asconi Winery

    Asconi Winery is worth including in a Moldova itinerary for its direct connection with the architecture, underground spaces and working landscape of Moldova’s nationally significant wine culture. A visit can be organised around cellars or production spaces where visits are offered, wine-making landscape, architecture and regional industry. Together these elements make the stop useful for understanding the wider Puhoi area rather than treating it only as a photograph or waypoint. The setting also shows how rivers, forests, faith, trade, geology, agriculture or civic institutions have shaped different parts of Moldova. A measured visit leaves enough time to examine the principal features and relate them to nearby places in the same region.
