Chateau Purcari

We stayed an enchanting night in Chateau Purcani, where I had the luxury of being in a wooden globe on the roof, with the night sky visible and an amazing sunrise. The chateau itself is more like a castle, with a grand hall where a delightful breakfast was served. The weather allowed for an evening meal in the gardens and the food quality was surprisingly high, meeting any fine diners’ expectations. The winery is one of the most famous wine brands in Eastern Europe and an official supporter of the Royal House of Romania and the UK. The tasting of 5 wines included the local variety Fetească neagră (black lady) and Fetească albă which are without doubt my favourite - not to be missed!

wonderfull hotel! excellent food and wines. you can ride bikes, walk around the lake, swing or just chill. breakfast was also great. friendly workers. amazing food places and a garden. if you are in purcari you should stay here

This lovely wine estate is a two hour drive from Chișinău. It is a fabulous setting for a meal or a family gathering. I enjoyed a lunch of veal stew with mamalinga. Nice sized portion that filled me up for the entire day.

I had my wedding recently at Chateau Purcari, I’m Moldavian and my husband is British, so we had a mixed wedding with a combination of traditions. I can’t express my gratitude for all the staff for being so involved, supporting and helping with everything we have requested. A very high customer service! A big and special thank you for Niculina Bacalim, she organised our wedding and made our dream wedding come true! For sure the best Moldavian wine it’s Purcari and it’s even more delicious having it at the Chateau surrounded by nature, beautiful people and so delicious food! Food was next level not only on the wedding day but previous and after. All the compliments to the chef! I would definitely recommend for a wedding, celebration, party or just to visit Chateau Purcari. Our British guests were impressed by the tour guide they had in English. Delicious and a big variety for breakfast, the most needed this after a big party. The entire location was very tiny and clean, rooms were pristine! They have managed to clean even on the wedding day to have it nice and ready for staying. The combination of a beautiful chateau, with proper wood, natural flowers, birds singing outside, big terrace, lakes, and of course vineyards— all together is just perfect! But once again, this amazing place cannot be maintained without a human touch, so thank you very much for all the staff from Chateau Purcari!

We absolutely love this place and come back every year to enjoy the beautiful nature and the dreamlike atmosphere here. However, because I believe Château Purcari could become pure perfection with just few simple adjustments, I would like to give some constructive suggestions: -FOOD: It would be fantastic if the National menu could be more diverse and reflect the true flavours and colours of the local cuisine. As an example, consider including some traditional fish+mamaliga dishes,( and not only). Fancy dishes certainly have their customers nevertheless, I believe Purcari should excel at authentic, mouth watering dishes simply because with your location and produce, you just have to be THE BEST, because you CAN. - BREAKFAST: especially during summer and autumn months please, please, please bring local fresh fruits ( peaches, sour cherries, apricots, mulberries, raspberries, strawberries) + things like compot, pancakes, pies, and other unique treats to the delight of your guests. I am not saying oranges, muffins or croissants are bad, it is just that Moldovan breakfasts should be part of the unforgettable Chateau Purcari experience through TASTE. STAFF: Every year we meet nice people there, starting from the security guys at the entrance. Human kindness is NATURAL in this place and therefore, please encourage your waiters and receptionists to be themselves and simply be enthusiastic about their job and own impact on the name and reputation of this great place. *This year Alexandra was very nice, helpful and welcoming to us- Thank You! TIPS: The “placinte” and” zeama” are a must. Overall I truly appreciate the journey this place has been through and I think that in such piece of Heaven- only sky is the limit! We wish you good luck, inspiration and enthusiasm! We highly recommend this place to everyone willing to have an unforgettable experience and some fantastic memories to capture ❤️ Thank you Château Purcari, cannot wait to visit you again!

amazing place! Magical place. An international-class luxury restaurant. Quality service by professional and kind and nice waiters. The restaurant is clean and beautiful. The food is excellent, delicious, special. The visibility of the food is stunning. And the wine ... the most delicious you've ever drunk. I will be back!

Had a great time with my friends! Did the tour, got a table and had dinner. My friends got some traditional food, I had a duck breast which came cold. The server wasn’t friendly, didn’t check on us to see if everything came fine. I was too hungry to ask to get another one. That’s the only reason I’m giving 4 stars.

We had an enjoyable and relaxing 1-night stay at Chateau Purcari, which included excellent wine-tasting and dinner. Everything was outstanding and we enjoyed the tranquil atmosphere and beautiful surroundings. The staff was friendly and attentive. The room was elegant and comfortable.

I cannot put into words the amazing time we had at this winery. The wine tours teach you how to taste wine and go in-depth about the winemaking process - more so than most other wineries. The hotel is a piece of heaven where you can get lost in simple things. Although not modern, it's super clean and gives a taste of the Chateau. And the people at the winery make for the most incredible experience - hands down! Oh, and the breakfast was one of the best I have tried around the world (breakfasts means a lot to me at a hotel) Also, for the wine tasting, which was a bit unexpected for us, they let you keep the bottle. So you taste a glass and get to finish the bottle afterwards. Obviously, we got drunk that night :) If you are ever in Moldova, it's a must-visit!
