Self-service tasting system with 40+ Moldovan wines preserved in argon machines — pour yourself, however much you want, at your own pace
Yes, if you want to compare Moldovan wines at your own pace — the self-service system with 40+ labels kept under argon lets you pour your own, as much as you like.
When you walk in, you're greeted by a long wall of bottles you can taste yourself, at your own pace – automatic argon machines keep the wine fresh for days. Sala de Degustare is the showroom for wine.md (Moldova's largest online wine shop), so the range runs from tiny indigenous wineries to Purcari and Château Vartely. The vibe is industrial-chic, with wooden tables, warm lighting, and frequent live music in the evenings. The kitchen does escargots, mussels, antipasti, and local cheeses – enough to build a light meal around your glass. It works best Thursday through Saturday evenings, when it's buzzing but not crowded, and you can set your own tasting pace without waiter pressure.

“We really liked this place, the atmosphere, the food were excellent. Interesting tasting and a large selection of wines that you can taste quickly and without problems. Nice waiters who are happy to tell you everything. I will definitely come back there😊”
“This place is adorable. I loved it! It is very cozy and romantic. The food was amazing. My husband and I had the mussels and escargots. For wine tasting, they have a place where you go and serve yourself with the wines you want to taste. Great experience! 🤩🤩”
“Food ok, but the selection of wine in airtight tasting machinery was poor, limited and at vastly overpriced. The servant had no idea about what she was selling. They didn't have the wine recommended on the menu for our choice of food.”
- Selection in the machines is limited compared to the full wine.md stock
- Tasting prices are higher than buying a bottle
- No vegan options on the menu (only vegetarian)
