The Nocturne Night Run at Château Purcari is a night run, covering distances of 10 and 20 km, filled with plenty of fun, wine, and food prepared under the open sky. The starting line for this evening race will be set amid the vineyards of Château Purcari and through one of the most picturesque areas along the Dniester River. At the Nocturne Night Run at Château Purcari, participants can choose between two routes, one of 10 km and one of 20 km, both equipped with refreshment and hydration points every 5 km. Runners will be immersed in the special atmosphere created by Nocturne wines, whose secret lies in the nighttime grape harvesting, done manually by lantern light to preserve the aroma and specific intensity of each grape variety.

Cucoanele Fiesta
“Cucoanele Fiesta” is an event where we celebrate women, diversity, and social inclusivity. The image of “Cucoanele” in 2023 was inspired by the life and work of artist Frida Kahlo. This often refers to the fact that true beauty is linked to personal development, proactivity, and self-confidence, with each person’s achievements being the criteria rather than externally imposed beauty standards. At “Cucoanele Fiesta” 2024, you will enjoy an evening filled with music, unlimited Cucoanele wine from Castel Mimi, and selected snacks, all in a thematic style and inspired atmosphere.
Sânzienele Night
Sânzienele are fabulous beings originating from Daco-Roman mythology, still found today in Moldovan folklore, often described as having an alluring, almost hypnotic beauty. The event is dedicated to celebrating Sânzienele wine from Castel Mimi.
