Experiences & Activities
From our passion for hospitality was born the idea to develop the tourist part of the winery. Our goal is to keep rural traditions intact, while maintaining the standards and new trends of wine tourism.
Wine Tour & Tasting
Have you ever seen the heat of wine making? Is rosé wine a mix of white and red wines? What is the difference between coupage and cepage? Why does Ice Wine have such intense aroma and taste? Book a tour around our winery and you will find the answers to all these questions and much more. And don’t miss the tasting to find your favorite Asconi wine!
The tour & tasting is guided. Water and homemade bread rusks are included for the tasting.

Here at Asconi we are known for our mouthwatery, flaky and just melt in your mouth plăcintas. Book your baking masterclass now, so that you can make your own plăcinta later!

Junior Sommelier and Chef
Who said visits at a winery are for adults only!? Not only will children learn about moldovan wine making legends but also have their first tasting experience: fruit kompot paired with snacks. However the best part will definitely be rolling, cutting, baking and obviously tasting COOKIES and “hulubași” – a dove shaped sweet bread.
An official Asconi Winery diploma will be awarded at the end.
