Rural tourism in Moldova is a great choice if you want to have an unusual family trip that combines beautiful natural landscapes, tasting national dishes, and getting to know local traditions.
“Albinuța” Village House – a stay at the beekeeping farm
Albinuța Village House is one of the well-known places in Moldova where the secrets and traditions of honey production are revealed. It is located in the picturesque Sîngerei district and is led by the experienced beekeeper Yurie Turturianu. Here, a true haven has been created, where every tourist can experience the charm of rural life, with the air filled with the scents of herbs and flowers. Engaging tours of the apiary are organized for guests, where they can witness the honey production process and taste natural beekeeping products.
Guesthouse “Casa Mierii” – traditions and honey tastings
Another wonderful place for honey tourism in Moldova is the Casa Mierii Guesthouse, located in the village of Răculești. Here, guests are welcomed by Constantin Stegărescu, who eagerly shares his knowledge of beekeeping traditions and demonstrates the process of harvesting natural honey.
Visitors can participate in an exciting honey tasting, enjoy it with nuts and homemade wine, and even make souvenirs from beeswax.
The tastings take place in a traditional Moldovan room, “Casa Mare”. The hostess, Mrs. Stegărescu, proudly showcases a collection of 200 unique towels, some of which are over 100 years old.
The best time to visit the apiary is in spring and summer, when the bees are actively gathering nectar from the blooming meadows. This is the period when you can not only witness the honey harvesting process but also participate in beekeeping workshops. The Albinuța and Casa Mierii beekeeping farms open their doors to all those who wish to taste natural honey, learn about the beekeeping process, and enjoy an unforgettable vacation in the countryside. This unique trip offers an educational and delightful experience for the whole family.
