Chișinău: Old Orhei, Butuceni, and Winery Day Trip｜Moldova

Leave the city behind and experience the true spirit of Moldova in one unforgettable day. Start your morning with an included traditional breakfast and guided museum visit at Safari restaurant.
Next, travel to the iconic Orheiul Vechi — Moldova’s most breathtaking natural and historical site. Follow your guide through ancient caves, hilltop viewpoints, and the charming village of Butuceni, where time seems to stand still. Wander past stone houses, friendly locals, and peaceful farm animals as you soak in the authentic countryside atmosphere. You’ll have free time to enjoy lunch at a local restaurant of your choice.
In the afternoon, visit Epoca de Piatră — a one-of-a-kind cave restaurant carved into the rock. Explore its unique interior and, if you wish, enjoy a freshly brewed coffee, which is included in your tour.
As the sun begins to set, you’ll arrive at Epicrama Winery, a cozy family-owned estate overlooking endless vineyards. Sit back with a glass of wine (optional), watch the sky turn gold, and feel the day slow down before heading back to Chișinău.
Save time and see Moldova’s top attractions in one organized excursion. This guided day trip includes transport, breakfast, museum visit, touring of Old Orhei Reserve and Butuceni village, a coffee stop at Epoca de Piatră, and a scenic sunset visit at Epicrama Winery.

Itinerary can be adjusted to Cricova Winery with optional wine tasting upon request.
