visit the old wooden monastery
Before deciding to have it renovated, the church was basically abandoned and in very bad shape, with basically no roof, and with damaged walls by rain and snow. The purpose of the restoration was to keep as many original elements as possible, so the oak was processed to improve its durability but the roof had to be rebuilt from scratch. In 2009, the church arrived in Chisinau, and renovation works lasted for about two years when in 201 1 it was inaugurated for visitors and Christians.
Visiting the Purcari Winery – a French style castle. On our way to Purcari, we will visit the church in the Causeni village built in 1763 (with an unordinary frescoes). Excursion+tasting+lunch with selected wines. Possibility to buy premium wines. Returning to hotel in Chisinau.
The remnants of the first human settlements, which are some hundreds of thousands years old, were found in the stone caverns from here. The originality of Orheiul Vechi is due to the defile of the Raut river, dug under the form of a canyon in the limestone layers of the former Sarmatia sea, about 14 million years ago.
Continue with Cricova underground excursion on the streets full of bottles dusted by value and taste, we enter a stone hall, where we take part in a professional wine tasting – wine that worth the best appreciation. Return to hotel.
Free day (shopping, souvenirs). Transfer from the hotel to the airport.
