Just 30 km from Chisinau, in Bulboaca, is Castel Mimi Wine Resort, the only authentic wine castle in the Republic of Moldova, included in the Top 15 world architectural masterpieces in the world of wine. Castel Mimi Wine Resort represents a distinguished tradition of winemakers, today reaching its fifth generation. The story of the castle begins in 1893, the year of its foundation, with Constantin Mimi, one of the most dedicated winemakers and promoters of Bessarabian wines, established in 1926 in Bucharest and later holding the position of director at the National Bank of Romania.
The Trofim family's dedication to wine and hospitality has turned the castle into the visiting card of the Republic of Moldova, becoming the host of the European Political Community Summit in 2023. Annually, over 30,000 visitors from more than 80 countries admire the castle's impressive architecture, discover the cellars secrets of Constantin Mimi, learn about the history of winemaking in the Republic of Moldova and enjoy traditional dishes in a modern interpretation of fine dining. Through continuous innovation and development, Castel Mimi continues to surprise its visitors, thus inaugurating on June 5 the first 5-star wine hotel with zero emissions in the Republic of Moldova.
Sustainability: a value and a vision
For Castel Mimi, sustainability is more than a practice, it is an ethos reflected in all company operations. Since its foundation more than a century ago, the winery has always maintained a deep respect for nature, firmly committed to protecting the terroir that gives Castel Mimi wines their exceptional character. Today, under the visionary leadership of Adrian Trofim, CEO of Castel Mimi Wine Resort, this commitment has evolved into a complex program of integrating sustainable practices in all areas, from soil care and fruit picking, to the promotion of local varieties across the country's borders and reducing the winery's carbon footprint.
“The decision to create the first zero-emission 5-star wine hotel was based on our deep commitment to sustainability and the desire to be energy independent in this unstable time. We are proud that, through this project, we can offer our guests not only an unforgettable experience, but also an eco-friendly alternative in wine tourism.” — Adrian Trofim, CEO of Castel Mimi Wine Resort.
