Overview

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.

At Brănești Winery, there are two tasting halls, one of which is located underground. These halls are beautifully decorated with wood and metal, showcasing themes related to vine cultivation and winemaking.
