Cricova Winery er den mest luksuriøse og en af de største underjordiske vinkældre i verden. Lyder godt, ikke?
Et af de mest populære seværdigheder i Moldova er en turistzone, der kaldes Old Orhei (Orheiul Vechi), som ligger ved Raut-floden (Răut Rău). Det er en lands patrimoni, der ligger omkring 60 km væk fra hovedstaden Chisinau, blandt tre landsbyer: Butuceni, Morovaia og Trebujeni. Orhei Vechi er et arkæologisk og historisk kompleks, der består af to moderate, men meget gamle museer, gammel klippekirke og også flere private gammeldags hoteller i en meget traditionel stil beliggende i landsbyerne Butucheni og Trebujeni. Old Orhei er et usædvanligt roligt og dejligt sted med imponerende landskaber og enorm historisk baggrund, der bringer turisterne til at opdage Moldovas gamle rødder.
Butuceni Eco Resort ligger i et malerisk sted, der fascinerer med sin skønhed. Det er et stenet område med uendelige grønne områder ved floden Raut. Butuceni landsby ligger 47 km fra Chisinau og 18 km fra Orhei. Husejere på Eco Resort Butuceni havde sat et mål om, at den, der ville passere i deres hus for at falde, så godt som en moldovan føler sig hjemme hos sin mor. "lejancaen" - seng med lervægge, der opvarmes med ild indefra, med velsmagende "placecinta"-hjemmelavet tærte og hjemmelavet vin vil gøre et særligt indtryk, som aldrig vil blive glemt. Husbeboerne er også stolte af at kunne præsentere deres husgård med et stort udvalg af dyr og fugle. Fra gården kan du gøre dit barn glad med en tur på ponyen eller hesten. nyder landskaberne i Butuceni. Her kan du smage de frugter og grøntsager, der dyrkes i frugtplantagen på Eco Resort Butuceni.
Curchi-klosterets kompleks ligger på et af de mest fantastiske steder i centrum af Moldova, i nærheden af landsbyen Buzesti. Det er placeret på to terrasser og er omgivet af en stenmur med flere hjørnetårne. Klosterets ensemble består af to kirker - sommeren Svyatodmitriyevskaya, bygget på bekostning af Iordace Curchi, og vinterens Jul af Vor Frue, bygget senere , i begyndelsen af det XIX århundrede. Af særlig interesse er vinterkirken opført i 1810. Arkitekterne vendte sig med sin konstruktion til klassicismens bedste traditioner og anvendte sideløbende nogle barokteknikker. Derudover omfattede strukturen af det klosterarkitektoniske ensemble ni bygninger med celler og abbedens kvarterer af strukturen fra begyndelsen af det 20. århundrede, en have og en lille stenbassin. Tidligere drev et hotel, skole og børnehjem ved klostret.

A must do. I did the evening tour with tasting. Tour of the expansive underground cellars which included salt displays and visiting the tasting rooms. You ride through the cellars on a motorized trolley which takes you to several of the major cellars. It is basically an entire city with street names underground. If you can, do a tasting tour as they do really formal seating with delicious samples. There is a video at the beginning in their bar/theater which explains the history & process. The tour is done by Crickova staff not your tour guide, and you may select the language. There is a superb gift shop.
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. All the best wishes for you. Hi Moldova Team
The tour started with hotel pick up at 10AM. Our tour driver, Veaceslav, was waiting for us when we walked down about 10 minutes prior the scheduled time. We headed off to our first destination, Old Orhei, which is about an hour or so from our hotel in Chisinau. On the way, he shared really interesting information about Moldova. Before our stop to Old Orhei, he took us to two "unplanned" stops that were amazing. The first stop was a lookout far away from the monastery but had absolutely stunning views from lookout. The second stop was ruins of a bathhouse in the area. He explained the significance of it for it's time. At the site, we visited an archaeological museum that showed several pieces of history throughout the area dating back to early BC periods. He then showed us a common house of the village. We then walked made a quick walk up the stairs to the monastery itself. He showed us around in the monastery and then walked us up to the church and showed us inside the Russian Orthodox church. Afterwards, Veaceslav suggested a great little lunch place were were stopped and had an authentic Moldavan lunch for incredibly cheap (not part of the tour but worthwhile!) The food was delicious and the service was prompt. Our guide even showed us around the property, the cellars the store the food and another house in the village. After lunch, we made our way to Cricova Winery. The drive was shorter and we arrived a little early. At this point, Veaceslav, waited for us to do the tour with the winery. Unlike Milisti Mici, Cricova has large golf cart buses type things that you ride around in for the tour. Our tour guide showed us the impressive winery that houses some the world leaders wines (my favorite part of the winery!) and through the underground tunnels. There we watched a brief movie about the winery and were able to enjoy our first wine, a dry sparkling wine. We then moved on to the tasting, a red wine, white wine, and sparking sweet wine. They also provided a few snacks for our tasting. The winery here was far more impressive than Mici but felt a little intimidating. I did enjoy the wine more at Cricova. After our tour of about 2 hours in the winery concluded, we met with Veaceslav who took us back to the hotel. Overall, it was a really great day. The tours were perfect combination for my husband who loves to be outdoors and me who loves wine. I would HIGHLY recommend Veaceslav as he was a great tour guide who very clearly loved Moldova.
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. All the best wishes for you.
I traveled to Orhei and Cricova on my second day in Moldova. Fortunately, I knew my guide Nicolai and, therefore, knew that I would learn much and have an enjoyable day. I definitely did. In the morning, Nicolai drove us to a lovely church and provided great insight. We then journeyed to Old Orhei, stopping in several places to take great photos. As always, Nicolai proved to be a great guide, answering all my questions and being a great companion. In the afternoon, we visited Cricova. Cricova is a bit fancier than Milestii Mici; more elaborate (but not as fun to visit). I recommend visiting both Milestii Mici and Cricova, though, such that the wineries can be compared. Once again, I must thank Nicolai for being a great guide and taking such good care of me. cheers
Thank you, Marcus for your kind review! All the best, Hi Moldova
