Cricova Winery
You will departure to one of the most fascinating wonders of the world - Cricova cellars, that was founded in 1952. They are situated under of the small Cricova town and those cellars form an underground city. The basements were formed after limestone extraction from the mines. Later, from cellars winemakers formed avenues and streets with wine, which are stored in the surrounding niches: Cabernet, Aligote, Sauvignon, etc. These avenues and streets have a length of 120 km in total. The constant temperature is about 12 degrees and humidity that does not exceed 97-98% - are the most favourable conditions for the storage of 30 million l of quality wine.
Manastirea Curchi
The excursion will continue in the North direction, Monastery Curchi - is a genuine gem of architectural art. At various times it was the centre of work and unique creation of priests, monks, churchwardens, architects, landscape designers. Today, the Curchi monastery revives the spirituality of the Orthodox people and preserves ancient traditions. The tourists visiting the monastery will find here peace of mind and become strengthened in the Christian faith.

The guide or tour company did not show up and did not respond to my calls and texts as to what was happening. I contacted Viator who was unable to reach them too. I only had 2 days in Moldova so this really threw me off my schedule not having this tour.

I booked this trip in the office direct instead of online and saved myself €27. I shared this trip with 3 others and our guide Nicolai was friendly and informative. I would definitely recommend this trip but for the visit to the Monastery and Church I recommend hiking boots and not trainers.
