Fantastic and authentic experience. Excellent wines and explanations they provided. Experience to do absolutely
We had expected a bus and were driven very comfortably by car to Cricova. At our booked time, a guided tour in German and English took place at the same time and we decided to use German. Overall, we were 8 in our group. First we went with an open kart a few kilometers through the underground tunnels. The first stop was at an underground cinema, where we had a glass of sparkling wine for the explanatory film. We continued to the champagne production and the storage compartments of the wine collections. Our guide spoke very good German, had a lot of interesting information for us and answered all our questions in detail. The wine tasting was a successful conclusion. We loved it and we would definitely book this tour again.
A fun trip, great attention to the tourist. We felt pampered during the trip. Visiting Cricova is a really nice experience. Good!
Beautiful places to see, with more calm
Amazing experience in Cricova winery, I was travelling by myself the only English person there, by the end of it I had 12 friends from 5 different countries including the guide, great atmosphere, super interesting, very easy
Beautiful experience and to try the very good guide even if the taxi driver could not speak English and also who had organized the tour required us another 20 euros even if I had actually already paid a tour for 4 glasses ..
The wine was very good. The staff was very polite. It was very cold underground. Our driver was also very good.
Great trip, picked up from door. Great tour guide around the wine cellars, gave us recommendations of where to eat in Chisinau. Well worth a visit
We had previously visited the Milestii Mici Winery so had previous experience with a similar state-owned underground winery. The experience at Cricova was not considered as good due to the larger number of guests per tour (48 vs 12), the itinerary (less time talking with the guide and quiet inspection of storage vaults) and a much noisier tasting experience (more basic food pairings, poorer quality wines and no musical accompaniment by a violinist and accordionist). My wife and I had to wait for 10 minutes for a seating at the enormous table while two chairs and place settings were found for us (apparently due to an overbooking mistake by the winery). All in all a somewhat disappointing experience. The transportation to and from the winery was very good.
It is a good tour. The wine is very good. However it gets cold in the tunnels. I would recommend this tour
