Et Cetera Winery
A small family winery in southeastern Moldova, started by two brothers who came back.
Updated 3 September 2026
Et Cetera was started at Crocmaz in the southeast by two brothers who had emigrated to the United States and came back to plant vines on family land, and it is deliberately small: a few dozen hectares, everything done on site, and a tasting room that takes bookings rather than coaches. The southeast, near the Dniester and close to Purcari, is the country's best regarded red wine country.
What you'll find
- The family scale - a few dozen hectares worked and vinified on site.
- The southeast terroir - the country Moldova's best regarded reds come from.
- The tasting room - a small operation taking bookings rather than groups.
- The return story - brothers who emigrated and came back to plant vines.
When to go

Things to know
Visits must be booked and the winery does not take walk-ins. It is a long drive from Chișinău. The operation is small and there is little beyond the tasting.
