Discover Chișinău in a different way — through the rhythm of wine, footsteps, and music.
Guided by Cristina Rus, a sommelier and guide with over 8 years of experience in the wine industry, a professional in wine communication and an experienced tour guide for groups of all sizes across Moldova, we invite you to a walking tour and wine tasting that connects the two Wine Republic wine shops — two different worlds, united by the same Moldovan heart.
One is a story, the other a dialogue.
One charms with tradition, the other welcomes you with modern energy.
The path between them becomes a living artery — a melodic line linking wine and city, past and present, people and emotion.
Along the route, each stop will be accompanied by a musical piece, transforming the walk into an open-air recital — a symphony of the city and wine, a warm, multi-sensory experience, especially comforting in the holiday season.
