Parc Romănești
The park in Romănești, Strășeni district, is a green space in a village known above all for winegrowing. It has 4.6 out of 5 from more than 100 reviews and is open at all times.

Romănești, in Strășeni district, is a name that circulates first of all in the world of Moldovan wine. The village park is something else: a quiet green space, with 4.6 out of 5 from more than 100 reviews, open 24 hours a day. It is the kind of stop that rounds out a day spent in the hill country west of Chișinău.
What you'll see
A park with mature vegetation, paths and areas to rest, in a rural setting on the edge of the Codrii forests. It has no tourist facilities or guiding — its value lies in the quiet and the shade of the trees. For those who come here, the context makes the difference: you are in a recognised wine region, a short distance from the vineyards. See our selection of wineries and wines for what can be visited nearby and the nature section for the Codrii area.
Getting there
Romănești lies in Strășeni district, roughly 40 km west-north-west of Chișinău — under an hour's drive, which makes it one of the most accessible stops on this list. You get there by car, the last part on local roads. Public listings indicate the absence of a wheelchair-accessible car park; in the village you park at the side of the road. See also the transport guide.
When to go
The park is open 24 hours a day, every day. The most suitable season is from May to October. Autumn has an added advantage in this area: it is the grape harvest, when the region is at its busiest. In winter, the local roads can be difficult after snowfall.

Wineryunder 1 kmBasvinex (Vinaria Romanesti)
Vinăria Romănești, also known by the company name Basvinex, is in the village of Romănești, in the hilly Codru area of central Moldova. The name of the village is one of the weightier ones in the winegrowing history of the region, and the surrounding vineyards are part of the area's classic landscape. The winery has no published hours and no website of its own, and the small number of recorded visitors indicates a producer who receives guests selectively, by prior arrangement. Contact well in advance is essential. Suited to visitors who put together their own route and accept a degree of improvisation in exchange for a place still untouched by mass tourism.

Stay7.5 kmCurtea Boierului Hotel
The hotel is at Peresecina, right on the Chișinău–Orhei route, at kilometre 32.6 — halfway between the capital and Orheiul Vechi. Its position on the main road makes it easy to find and easy to use as a morning starting point. It welcomes families with children and has a parking space adapted for wheelchair access. For anyone who would rather not drive back to Chișinău after a day at Butuceni and Trebujeni, it is a practical solution: you sleep twenty minutes from the complex and head on northwards without losing the morning.
