The story

Vinopera in Bulboaca/Castel Mimi

VinOpera is described as the first sustainable classical-music festival in Moldova, organized by the Constantin Mimi Foundation at Castel Mimi winery in Bulboaca, a property nicknamed the Little Versailles of Moldova. Now in its seventh edition, held each September, the festival presents classical concerts across multiple venues, with a dedicated train transporting guests from Chisinau to the winery's gardens and historic castle grounds.

VinOpera brings together two traditions that do not often share a stage in Moldova: formal classical music performance and the country's winemaking heritage.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

VinOpera positions itself around sustainability as much as musical programming, branding itself as the first sustainable classical-music festival in Moldova, a distinction shaping both its organization and its choice of venue

02

The mystery stays covered

Castel Mimi, nicknamed the Little Versailles of Moldova, gives the festival a historically resonant setting that few classical events in the country can match, pairing wine-estate elegance with formal concert programming

03

The city starts moving

The dedicated train connecting Chisinau to Bulboaca adds a distinctive logistical element, transforming the journey into part of the event itself rather than a simple commute

04

The water draws everyone in

Organized by the Constantin Mimi Foundation, the festival ties directly to the historical legacy of the Mimi winemaking family, linking classical music appreciation to the estate's own heritage as it enters its seventh annual September edition
