- Capriana Monastery - In the morning, the journey begins to Capriana Monastery, located in one of the most scenic areas of the Codrii reservation, 40 km from Chișinău. This site is home to one of Moldova’s oldest monasteries, Căpriana, established in 1429. Nestled at the edge of a vast forest between the villages of Straseni and Capriana, it was founded in the 15th century during the reign of Alexandru cel Bun and later reconstructed by Stefan the Great in 1470. The complex features the Churches of the Virgin’s Assumption (1545), Saint Nicholas (1840), and Saint George (1907), which are adjacent to the abbot’s house, the refectory, and cells. The oldest is the Virgin’s Assumption Church, founded by Petru Rares. After its reconstruction in 1820 by Metropolitan G. Banulescu-Bodoni, only the decorative apses with arcature and the walls down to the socle level remained unchanged. During construction, a bell tower with a pyramidal roof and an octagonal dome with a bulbous turret over the naos were added.
- Chateau Cojusna - The tour continues at Chateau Cojusna Winery, a delightful local wine estate celebrated for its warm hospitality and genuine Moldovan charm. Visitors will enjoy a tour and wine tasting, featuring four wines from the Premium series: Dry white wine Piatra Albă (a blend of Fetească Albă, Sauvignon Blanc, Muscat), Matured dry red wine Piatra Roșie (a blend of Alicante, Ancellotte, Merlot), Dry red wine barrique aged 18 months Piatra Neagră (a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Saperavi), and Collection liqueur red wine “Pastoral” 2001. Alongside these expertly chosen wines, guests will be served a generous platter of fresh cheese and salami, crispy breadsticks, and water, perfectly complementing the tasting experience.
