Mimi winery, Neoclassical winery in Bulboaca, Moldova.
Mimi is a neoclassical winery in Bulboaca built with reinforced concrete and French architectural details. The building contains multiple underground storage rooms for wine production and features four reception halls plus two specialized tasting rooms for events and tastings.
Constantin Mimi, a Bessarabian diplomat and winemaker, commissioned this winery in 1893 and completed it around 1901. The establishment reflects the region's strong winemaking tradition during that era.
The space hosts folk art displays and wine tastings that reflect local traditions and practices. These activities show how this region has long connected its identity to winemaking.
The site accommodates events across different rooms depending on group size and activity type. Visitors should plan to navigate stairs and tunnel systems to explore the various levels and underground spaces.
The underground barrel storage can hold up to 300,000 liters of wine using methods unchanged since the nineteenth century. This vast storage system remains fully operational today, demonstrating the foresight of the original design.
