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.

    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.

  • Well Worth I.

    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.
