You can easily recognize Elena’s works by noticing their elegance and finesse, as the craftswoman usually decorates the upper part of her works with figurines, birds and butterflies in pastel colors. She can offer you a refined gift for any occasion.

“Scutelnic Brothers” Artistic Pottery and Pottery Workshop
The emblem of the Scutelnic brothers is a house, a motiff that is found in many works of craftsmen. At the same time, their collections also outline the theme of wine that takes the form of figurines, presses, jugs or wine mugs. The brothers have adjusted their techniques to meet the visitors who visit them often, namely, they have adopted a minimalist style to allow tourists to take a small souvenir home with them, even with bags already full.

Vasilii managed to gather a huge collection of ceramic elements at his workshop in Hoginești. Here tourists come to admire the clay objects, including the largest clay jug in the region measuring over two meters, but also to participate in master classes organized by the talented craftsman.
Pomușoară Dulcișoară
What do IT, design and winemaking have in common? This question can be answered by the Lupascu family, where Geo, an IT professional, and his wife Victoria, creator of a women’s clothing brand, managed through a lot of work and enthusiasm to launch in 2017 a winery right in their household from Cojusna. Although they are still small, the family of entrepreneurs managed to renovate the old cellar where they can receive guests all year round. They even have a restaurant with dishes designed by a famous chef. Pomușoara Dulcișoară Winery has an unexpected history behind it, but also many plans for the years to come.
