After learning the remuage and degorgement process, you will have the opportunity to taste 4 types of wine, including a sparkling one.

Cricova is a unique underground complex that got renowned for both its huge labyrinths and excellent wines. For the last 60 years it creates the sparkling wine by the method of the famous monk Dom Pierre Perignon, which requires secondary fermentation in the glass and subsequent cuvée ageing. The wine maturation is done fully in the underground cellars, boasting 120 km in total length. Here, endless lines of stands are holding the bottles at a certain angle, waiting to be shaken every day, so they could become crystal clear. Currently Cricova is home to 1.3 mln bottles and 640 types of wine. The oldest wine in the collection and the only one of its kind in the world is the wine „Easter Jerusalem”, produced in just one batch in 1902. After the guided tour you will be invited in one of their tasting halls for a memorable wine tasting. It is here where the sommelier will tell you about the story of the bubbles in your glass.

unique experience - brilliant guide Valeria

Perhaps a bit expensive, but provided excellent private car to the winery, and the tour was incredible. We were guided by the amazing Valeria, she was entertaining and clearly knew her stuff. Afterwards, we had a great wine tasting, live music playing for each of our home countries. Truly a unique, interesting experience.

A place that is at times fascinating and at times boring: it is definitely worth seeing, there is not much in the area :-)

The experience of the visit with the little train is pleasant: there is also a short promotional film with a tasting of sparkling wine. The thrill of going down into the cellars is fascinating, but at the same time, you get bored shortly after: it is true that they tell the history and the types of wine kept there... that was my impression. Certainly visually striking and interesting to discover that all the excavated material was used to build part of the city of Chisinau: therefore an excell...read more

Worth it!

We had expected a bus and were driven very comfortably by car to Cricova. At our booked time, a guided tour in German and English took place at the same time and we decided to use German. Overall, we were 8 in our group. First we went with an open kart a few kilometers through the underground tunnels. The first stop was at an underground cinema, where we had a glass of sparkling wine for the explanatory film. We continued to the champagne production and the storage compartments of the wine coll...read more
