About the direction
Moldova is recognized as one of the world’s oldest winemaking regions, and the Et Cetera and Purcari Wineries are among its most prestigious producers of high-quality wines. Located in the southeastern part of the country, these wineries blend centuries-old traditions with modern technology, creating internationally acclaimed wines.
Et Cetera Winery – The Story of a Family-Owned Vineyard
Et Cetera Winery was founded by brothers Alexandru and Igor Luchianov, who turned their passion for winemaking into a thriving business. Situated in the Ștefan Vodă region, this winery benefits from an exceptional terroir with fertile soils and an ideal climate for cultivating grapes.
Et Cetera is renowned for its innovative approach, combining traditional winemaking techniques with modern methods. The wines are produced in small batches to ensure superior quality. The vineyards are managed using sustainable practices, preserving the natural balance of the soil and environment.
Over the years, Et Cetera Winery has gained international recognition, winning numerous awards for its refined wines. Today, it offers visitors not only wine tastings but also gastronomic tours, providing an authentic Moldovan hospitality experience.
Purcari Winery – Tradition and Excellence Since 1827
Purcari Winery is one of Moldova’s oldest and most renowned wineries, with a history dating back to 1827. It was established during the Russian Empire under the patronage of Tsar Nicholas I. Since then, Purcari has become a symbol of Moldova’s winemaking excellence.
The Purcari vineyards are located in a region with a microclimate similar to Bordeaux, France, allowing for the development of complex and elegant wines. By the 19th century, Purcari wines were being exported across Europe and were even served at royal banquets, including at the British Royal Court.
The winery’s most famous wine is Negru de Purcari, a rich, barrel-aged wine with notes of black fruits and spices. It has become an emblem of Moldovan winemaking and is considered one of Eastern Europe’s finest wines.
Today, Purcari Winery continues to blend its historical heritage with innovation, offering visitors guided tours of its historic cellars, tastings of premium wines, and an unforgettable retreat among picturesque vineyards.
These two wineries stand as remarkable examples of Moldova’s winemaking tradition, each with its own history but united by a shared passion for producing high-quality wines.
