Amazing experience. The...

Amazing experience. The tour was interesting - the Cricova winery is very impressive and really worth to visit. Wines that have been subject to the tasting experience were delicious. The guide who drive me to the winery has provided me with a lot of information on the country and its history. He also showed me a beautiful park near the Technology Faculty.

A must for every Moldova visitor!

After a telephone Reservation we registered for an English tour of the wine cellars of this company. An electric ‘train’ drove us up to 100 meters deep in the 120 kilometer long corridor system. We were offered champagne and a movie. Impressive how all those thousands of bottles are stored and handled. The Guide explained everything professionally and understandably. Participation in this tour is absolutely worthwhile.

Time very well spent. Great service. Fine wines. We highly recommend it!

I highly recommend a tour of this winery. The client feels cared for and important. Lunch was very tasty. Aesthetically served. The sommelier was classy, unhurried and sensitive, presenting wines with dedication and passion during lunch. The time spent at Cricovia was exceptional. We are very pleased!

5-star trip!!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We were lucky enough to visit Cricova on the day of the Mustfest. It was a really great trip that we can absolutely recommend. Our guide Mtvarisa was very friendly and super organized. We felt completely at ease. The tour itself was very informative and impressive. The Mustfest rounded the whole thing off. We would definitely recommend the tour. An absolute must if you are in Chișinău for a few days. All in all: Definitely 5 stars!!!
