In Golești we find the Museum of Viticulture and Pomculture (in the open air), the only one of its kind in the country, which presents the evolution over time of these millenary activities of the Romanian people.
Opened in 1971, the National Museum of Viticulture and Pomiculture occupies an area of 15 hectares. Here, a Romanian village was reconstructed in which traditional households from the Subcarpathian hills, from areas with outstanding orchards and vineyards, such as Argeș, Muscel, Dâmbovița, Buzău, etc., were brought and exhibited. The valuable ensemble includes monuments of traditional architecture, brandy distilleries, wineries, gates, fruit drying ovens, as well as the entire arsenal of tools and objects related to these ancient activities.
Archaeological discoveries and historical-ethnographic documents highlight the venerable existence of the two Romanian traditions: fruit growing and viticulture, emphasizing their evolution and economic importance.
Golești becomes a significant stop and research point, thanks to the wealth of historical vestiges, numerous documents relating to crucial events in the history of the Romanian people, as well as valuable monuments of particular significance.
