Beskrivelse

During this wine tour in Moldova, your guide brings you to the most beautiful wine region of the country: Cricova. Here you will learn to know about the quality and the diversity of Moldova's wines and vineyards.

On a journey over Moldova country roads, this tour starts in Chisinau and crosses five oenological regions. The program includes a visit to the most popular winery of the country, like the famous underground wine cellars of Cricova.

Cricova Winery is a real underground wine city with wide streets, warehouses, and tasting rooms. The total length of the tunnels is 120 km. The “Grand Cellars of Cricova” house a varied collection of wines and the National Oenotec. The unique exhibits (“Jerusalem of Easter” vintage 1902, the liqueur “Jan Becher” vintage 1902) together with other 158 brands of liqueurs from Burgundy, Moselle, Tokay, and the Rhine are in the collection, which includes today a total of about 1.3 million bottles.

Legend has it that in 1966 the cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin entered the cellars, re-emerging (with assistance) two days later. The Russian President Vladimir Putin celebrated his 50th birthday there.
