Igor from Chisinau

About me I’m a businessman in the automotive sector of Moldova and a father of smart kid Maxim. My job involves frequent meetings with suppliers and customers from abroad, and I can say that knowing some facts about the partner’s home country and talking about yours is key for any conversation.

Tasting Room Wine.md Chisinau

A wine cellar with a history

""Tasting room wine.md" in Chisinau is the successor of the wine bar that existed at this spot in the 1880s. I come here when I want to try something new..."

This recently opened wine bar is now gaining popularity fast between local wine-lovers, and there are several reasons for that. First of all, here you have the largest range of wines “by the glass”, so in one evening you can make up your opinion and choose your favorites, or understand the difference between the Chardonnay wines made in different areas of Moldova.

The second reason is the atmosphere: not only is it centrally located; turns out that the building where the bar is located had the same function in the 19th century -- at exactly this spot, there used to be a wine shop selling local wines in the 1880s. And now you can literally feel the vibe of the centuries while trying the same sort of wine people did here 150 years ago. For me and my friends, Wine.md tasting room is the first option whenever we want to taste some novelties by local winemakers.

Also, you need to know that the people who run this spot have come up with the idea of not only offering a wide range of Moldavian wine, but also sharing the knowledge of Moldavian wine culture and its roots. That is why you can often take part in a degustation created with different objectives: whether it be a full presentation of a new small winery or comparing every specimen of a certain variety, the result will be the same: you will start falling in love with Moldavian wine.

Raw Cafe

Vegan market & cafe

"Raw Cafe" is probably Chisinau's only raw vegan cafe. They have amazing desserts - my favorite one is made with peanuts and dried figs!

Valea Morilor Panorama Point

Romantic place

"Valea Morilor Panorama Point" in Chisinau makes for an excellent hiking trail, especially in summer! Not many people know about it, so it's secluded...

"Sincer - Gastro Market" in Chisinau means 'honest' - it's a great place to enjoy tea, coffee or juice & I love their brunch. Try the chicken with peach!

Il Forno

Best pizza in town

"Il Forno" makes the best pizza in Chișinău and I can attest to that. It embodies well the special relationship between our countries...

CoffeeMolka

Bessarabian coffee

"CoffeeMolka" is a classic hidden gem. I've lived more than 20 years in Chișinău and I only discovered this coffee place set up like a museum last year!

"Marlene Bar" in Chisinau might not even have the best cocktails in town (although I like them), but the atmosphere of this European-style bar is worth it!
