Lonely Planet comments:

"The Wine Routes of Moldova is a network of three routes, which reach into the country's historic wine regions of Codru, Valul lui Traian and Stefan Voda. The roads – begin in the capital, Chisinau – and serve as cultural and adventure corridors that map out festival, events, and key points of interests such as B&Bs, fortresses, monasteries, nature reserves, and archaeological sites. For travelers, this network provides clear itineraries while exposing an unsullied authenticity and unexpectedly gourmet mindset anchored by more than 5000 years of wine-making history and a significant level of wine production."
