Străşeni is a town - administrative center of the Străşeni district - of about 20,000 inhabitants in central Moldova. It is one of 32 districts (raion, pl. raioane) in Moldova. There are several legends about its name. One tells that the name of the region is derived from "straşnic", a Romanian adjective that can mean "terrible", "frightening", and the story goes that in former times this region was covered by a fearsome forest.

Nowadays, Străşeni is famous for its wine. The "Străşeni vineyard", convert|12|km west of Chişinău, is renowned for its sparkling white wines. A little farther north is the Romanesti winery, one of the largest locally and the one-time leading producer of wines in the USSR. One of its more famous products is a Bordeaux-type red.
