Moldova Wine Tour: Explore Iconic Wineries and Vineyards

9 to 12 hours (approximately)
Offered in: English

Discover the rich wine culture of Moldova, one of Europe’s most underrated wine destinations, on a carefully designed compact tour visiting five iconic wineries in one day - an experience few tours offer.

At Cricova, explore a legendary underground “wine city” with over 120 km of tunnels. At Mileștii Mici, drive through the world’s largest wine cellar, home to nearly 2 million bottles. At Castel Mimi, visit an elegant 19th-century castle producing premium Reserve and Special Edition wines rarely found outside the estate. At Château Vartely, discover a modern boutique winery with panoramic vineyards and tastings of local varieties. At Purcari, explore Moldova’s most historic estate and taste limited wines such as Freedom Blend, and Negru de Purcari.

Unlike typical tours, tastings often feature reserve and winery-exclusive wines, offering a deeper, more authentic experience of Moldova’s wine heritage.

Perfect for wine lovers and explorers.
