Tour of Chisinau + Visit to Mileștii Mici Winery

Join us on this journey through Chi?in?u, where you will discover the capital of Moldova and visit the remarkable Mile?tii Mici winery, home to the largest collection of wine globally.

Description

The day begins at 9 am with your pickup from the hotel, setting the stage for our guided exploration of Chi?in?u, a city marked by its striking landmarks.

Our first destination will be a leisurely walk through the historic center, allowing us to admire the Town Hall, the elegant neoclassical Nativity Cathedral, the iconic Triumphal Arch, and the notable Stephen the Great Monument. As we navigate this area, you will encounter the distinctive style known as communist brutalism, a key aspect of post-war Eastern European architecture. This style is characterized by its grand and unadorned structures, highlighted by stunning mosaic artworks.

Following our city tour, we will board a bus to visit the Mile?tii Mici Winery, situated 17 kilometers (10.5 miles) south of the capital. Famous for being the largest wine cellar in the world, it boasts an impressive inventory of over one and a half million bottles of wine, setting a remarkable world record.

You'll have the chance to explore this oasis for wine lovers and uncover its fascinating backstory. Remarkably, this winery was once a limestone mine before its transformation into a celebrated vintner.

As our visit concludes, enjoy a wine tasting featuring a selection of three exquisite wines from Mile?tii Mici, paired with a sumptuous appetizer.

Once the tasting experience wraps up, we will return to Chi?in?u, dropping you back at your hotel approximately 5 to 6 hours after your initial pickup.
