Cycling the world's biggest wine cellar

5.00Collection was on time and efficient. Dropped at the winery and awaited the tour in plenty of time. The tour started on time and I was the only only on it! Enjoyed the cycling and seeing the cellars. Enjoyed the delicious wines. The music entertainment for one was a little much(!), but overall a fun and enjoyable experience and I glad I went.

5.00The tour of the largest winery in the world was both interesting and fun. We travelled by a cart train as the bicycle option was unavailable. In hindsight bicycle travel would have been a bit tricky in the dark tunnels. Our guide Pedro was knowledgeable and engaging. The tasting of 3 wines was in a comfortable room 60m underground. A delicious food plate (including walnut-stuffed prunes) and a violinist/accordionist duo accompanied the experience. The owner of the tour company (Andrei Rusu) personally picked us up and returned us to our apartment in downtown Chisinau. All in all a great experience and fine value for the cost.

Expected More of a Wine Tasting

2.00It was actually quite fun cycling through the tunnels, even though my bike had very poor brakes. The wine cellar itself is very impressive, with vast spaces and an almost surreal atmosphere. During the wine tastings, however, the guide poured us three types of wine and then left without giving any further information. I met another tourist who had been there a day after me, and they got to try five different wines and were given information about them. I’m actually a bit disappointed. I had expected more of a wine tasting. In the shop on the way out, there was a very uninterested salesperson, and I had to go up to the counter myself to get any help. I asked for a red wine, but the salesperson handed me a bottle of dessert wine instead—and I didn’t realize it until I got home. Sure, they may have over 1.5 million bottles of wine there, but apart from that, it wasn’t exactly a quality experience.
A really different experience & nice wine

5.00Although the tour is quite expensive, it's well worth doing. After all it's not every day you get the chance to cycle around the world's largest underground wine collection! The guide rides with you leading the way & outlining fascinating facts about the winery. The ride is easy going, in fact most of it feels downhill. At the end you sit down to taste (drink!) a selection of the nice wine, with a small plate of antipasti, whilst serenaded by a violin & accordion. Bottles of wine can be purchased from the shop, but there is no expectation on you to do so. Pickup is from your accommodation.

No biking after all

2.00I booked the biking tour and was informed less than 24 hours before the activity that the bike guide was not available for my tour after all. I was offered a group tour in an electric cart instead. My driver stated that many of his passengers have also had the biking element of their tour stripped away at the last second for some reason or another. The activity seems like it would be fun, but the actual delivery is inconsistent.
