Casa vinicolă Luca
Wineries · Chișinău and Surroundings
Waiting for opening - please confirm availability! The Luca family has been making outstanding wines for four generations at what was originally called the Luca Winery but is now called Carpe Diem. But their journey hasn’t been smooth. Soviet authorities confiscated their winery in 1949, and sent the family to a Siberian labor camp.

About this place
After years of hardship there, a few family members made their way back to Moldova, where they worked as hired hands at the winery they once owned. After the Soviet Union disintegrated in the early 1990s, the family reclaimed the winery. Ion Luca is in charge these days. The family began selling Carpe Diem-label wines in 2011. To ensure unmatched quality, harvesters pick the grapes by hand and take them to the winery in small, 10-kilogram boxes. One vintage name shows the family has a sense of humor. The label on the bottle is Bad Boys.
