BEST GASTRONOMIC TOUR

BEST Moldoval is extremely pleased to take you back to Moldova’s historical times and invite you to sit around the dinner table in the “Casa Mare”, a traditional living room in Moldovan peasant houses. Besides sightseeing the rocks of Orheiul Vechi, in the peasant cottages made out of straw and mud, you will get the chance to light the stove fire. Moreover, the women of the house will show you and invite you to take part in dough moulding, dove-shaped bread making (Easter Dove)! We will cook together cheese and cabbage pies in traditional oven and afterwards enjoy them with a glass of mulled or fresh wine!

The next day, after a traditional peasant breakfast, we will explore the rocks of Orheiul Vechi and visit the nearby monastery, led by a guide who is familiar with local legends and tales.
