- Capriana Monastery - In the morning, the journey begins to Capriana Monastery. This excursion leads to one of the most scenic areas of the Codrii reservation, located 40 km from Chișinău, where the historic Căpriana Monastery, established in 1429, is found. 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 restored 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 the cells. The oldest is the Virgin’s Assumption Church, established by Petru Rares. After its renovation in 1820 by Metropolitan G. Banulescu-Bodoni, it retained only the decorative apses with arcature and the walls down to the socle level. 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 with a visit to Chateau Cojusna Winery, a delightful local wine estate celebrated for its warm hospitality and genuine Moldovan charm. Here, guests 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. While relishing these expertly chosen wines, guests will also be served a generous platter of fresh cheese and salami, crispy breadsticks, and water — the perfect accompaniment to enhance the experience. Château Cojușna is also renowned for its stunning vineyard landscapes, sophisticated tasting experiences, and welcoming hospitality, making it a favored spot for wine tourism.
