Le meilleur de la Moldavie : Cricova Winery & Old Orhei et Curchi Monastery
Description
Vous aurez une excellente occasion de visiter l'une des plus anciennes productions viticoles de Moldavie : les caves à vin de la cave Cricova, la plus visitée de Moldavie. Elle représente une ville souterraine unique, connue dans le monde entier pour ses immenses labyrinthes de rues, et surtout pour ses excellents vins. C'est également un bon moyen de visiter le patrimoine naturel et culturel le plus précieux de Moldavie - la vieille réserve d'Orhei, ainsi que le monastère de Curchi, qui est l'un des plus beaux monastères de notre pays. Une journée complète pour découvrir les meilleurs sites touristiques de la Moldavie. En fonction du nombre de réservations, la visite peut parfois être privée ou partagée en petits groupes, jusqu'à 8 à 10 personnes. Mais d'après notre expérience, la plupart de nos groupes sont composés de 3, 4 ou 5 personnes.
Options de l'excursion
Itinéraire
Nous visiterons le complexe du monastère de Curchi, à environ 30 km de la réserve Old Orhei. Le contexte culturel, religieux et historique essentiel de plus de deux siècles fait du monastère de Curchi un patrimoine hautement qualifié parmi les monuments les plus importants de l'architecture religieuse moldave.
Visitez le populaire Old Orhei avec son célèbre monastère troglodytique, le musée ethnographique de Butuceni du début du XXe siècle, les ruines de la ville tartare de Shehr al-Djedid (XIVe - XVIe siècles). C'est juste un complexe naturel et historique unique en plein air.
La cave Cricova est située à une profondeur de 60 à 80 mètres, ce qui représente une véritable ville souterraine. Cricova Winery représente un royaume souterrain unique bien connu dans le monde entier par ses immenses labyrinthes, et surtout par ses excellents vins. Ici, nous aurons une visite de 2,5 heures, qui comprend une excursion dans les sections viticoles de Cricova et une dégustation de vins (3 types de vins, noix, biscuits, eau).
Il est temps de déjeuner dans un restaurant local à l'ancienne, qui sert une cuisine moldave authentique et écologique. Cuisine traditionnelle fabuleuse lors de la visite du village ethnique.

Ecaterina the guide was very friendly and on time. Made us all feel very comfortable
Prompt pickup with information put on WhatsApp. Glad they mentioned taking along sweater or jacket as Cricova Winery is underground and quite cool. Make sure to wear sneakers and not sandals as ground is rocky at Orhei Monastery.
Corina was wonderful. Her passion for Moldovan history and culture is impressive. The tour was well paced and informative.
A great day, Natalia is an excellent guide who was knowledgeable, friendly and very open to honest discussion around different questions. The sites visited were a great introduction to some of the best places in Moldova. We are looking forward to trying another tour with this operator in the future.
Natslia was a very knowledgeable and friendly guide. We enjoyed the Moldavian scenery, great sites and good local food, which Natalia Found a bit away from the touristy places. Highly recommendef
I recently took the Best of Moldova tour with Ekaterina, covering Curchi Monastery, Old Orhei, and Cricova, and it was the highlight of my trip. If you are looking for a comprehensive way to see the most important sites outside of Chisinau in a single day, I highly recommend booking with her. We started at Curchi Monastery, which is easily one of the most beautiful churches I have seen in Eastern Europe. The grounds are incredibly peaceful and well-maintained. From there, we went to Old Orhei. The cave monastery carved into the limestone cliffs is a unique historical site, and the views overlooking the river valley are stunning. It was great to have Ekaterina explain the layers of history there, as it made the archaeological site much more meaningful. We finished the day at Cricova Winery. Exploring the massive underground tunnels by electric train is a surreal experience, and the wine tasting was professional and generous. Ekaterina is an excellent guide. She is knowledgeable, punctual, and speaks perfect English. She managed the timing of the day perfectly so we never felt rushed, but we still saw everything promised. If you want a deep dive into Moldovan history and culture with a professional who knows her stuff, this is the tour to take. Thanks Ekaterina!
Fantastic tour with excellent guide/driver Cristian and three other very friendly travelers from the US and Netherlands. It is not a cheap tour but is very high-end, we travelled in a spotlessly clean and brand new Land Rover Discovery. We visited Curchi Monastery, Old Orhei ( both the cliff top and cave monastery) and Cricova Winery. There was time for lunch at Cricova before the winery tour in the underground streets, and the tasting afterwards was very informative and good fun. Plenty of nice wine too for those that wanted it. Cristian was happy to stop at lots of viewpoints so that we could take photos. Highly recommended tour!
I would highly recommend this tour! Natalia was an excellent guide, very informative and friendly. The tour was very well organised and I had a great day! This is a brilliant way to see some of the rural sights in Moldova.
Very complete tour of the monasteries and landscapes of northern Chisinau, very well explained by the guide. Food in a traditional restaurant in the village. Very interesting visit to the Cricova winery and a luxurious and detailed wine tasting. Recommended and essential tour.
You get to know the details about the culture and history of Moldovan monasteries, viticulture, and Slava was lovely, fun, knowledgeable, engaging and made everything extra special.
