The wine from Gagauzia has a special taste and aroma, which carries the energy of the generous sun from the South.
The territory of the wine estate is a real flower garden. The restaurant, called 1895, is open all year round, and here you have the opportunity to taste dishes from the Gagauz national cuisine: shurpa (Gagauz national soup with greens and lamb), skewers prepared in tandar with grilled vegetables, famous gozleme (gagauz pies), cheegeary, bulgur, kavurma.

For more than 120 years, winemakers from Comrat keep and pass down from generation to generation the classic traditions of producing unique wines from southern Moldova. The company "Vinuri de Comrat" was founded in 1895, by decree of the Minister of Finance S.I.Witte of the Russian Empire and has undergone many transformations throughout its history. In 1995 it was privatized and today it is a modern enterprise, which processes 5-6 thousand tons of grapes and bottles about 3 million bottles of wine every year. The company owns over 300 hectares of vines and 5 agricultural holdings located in the "Valul lui Traian" wine region. It produces more than 50 series of wines, from European and local grape varieties, the wine being exported in over 20 countries.
