Cricova Winery Tour

Cricova Winery & Old Orhei Tour

Swap the ordinary for a day of adventure. Explore Orheiul Vechi, where an old cave monastery sits high on dramatic cliffs above the winding Răut River. Then head deep underground into Cricova — a huge maze with over 120 kilometers of wine-filled tunnels. Taste bold Moldovan wines far beneath the earth and get lost in one of the world's greatest wine cities. History, adventure, and great flavor — all in one day.
