Biking a Guinness Book Winery

A good experience. You are picked up and put on the general tour. They don’t do biking tours at all anymore. Really interesting and worth seeing!

The driver was a little grumpy, but otherwise a nice experience.

The driver picked me up from my hotel on time and it was not a long drive to the winery. Lovely first impression walking into the grounds. Checking into the tour was easy with the guide waiting for us. I was the only one doing the bike tour so we set off right away to start the tour. The experience cycling through the tunnels was great - unfortunately the tires on my bike were not fully inflated so it was a little difficult to cycle around. There were a couple stops and chances to walk into areas. The guide was very knowledgeable and shared a lot of information. Ended the tour with a tasting of 3 wines and a charcuterie plate. Only negative would be no information was shared on the wines I was tasting - nothing about grapes, year, or even shown the bottle. Overall still a lovely way to experience and learn about Moldovan vine.

This tour was so cool and interesting. My guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. Biking through the cellars was a lot of fun. The tasting experience felt like a nice reward at the end of it. Very cool and I would do it avain!

To be clear from the beginning, I booked the electric train/cart option not the cycling one, so please consider that in reading this review. The tour was well paced and took us deep into the cellars. Our guide was excellent and told great stories and history of not just the wines and cellars, but the background of people with win in the cellars, and all kinds of interesting info. Toward the end we were led to a wonderful room for a tasting of a few wines along with a small plate of food as palette cleansers. This was one of the best winery tours I’ve been lucky enough to experience.

Biking through the Milestii Mici winery was such a fun and slightly surreal experience. There were just three of us — me, one other guest from Italy, and our guide — which made it feel really relaxed and personal. Riding bikes through the underground tunnels (which are in the Guinness Book of Records!) was genuinely unforgettable. The tour wrapped up perfectly with great snacks and a generous wine tasting, which hit the spot after all the cycling. A must-do if you’re in Chișinău and want something a bit different.

Collection was on time and efficient. Dropped at the winery and awaited the tour in plenty of time. The tour started on time and I was the only only on it! Enjoyed the cycling and seeing the cellars. Enjoyed the delicious wines. The music entertainment for one was a little much(!), but overall a fun and enjoyable experience and I glad I went.

The tour of the largest winery in the world was both interesting and fun. We travelled by a cart train as the bicycle option was unavailable. In hindsight bicycle travel would have been a bit tricky in the dark tunnels. Our guide Pedro was knowledgeable and engaging. The tasting of 3 wines was in a comfortable room 60m underground. A delicious food plate (including walnut-stuffed prunes) and a violinist/accordionist duo accompanied the experience. The owner of the tour company (Andrei Rusu) personally picked us up and returned us to our apartment in downtown Chisinau. All in all a great experience and fine value for the cost.

Great communication immediately upon booking to explain options and hotel pickup/drop off. Fun half-day event at winery!

It was actually quite fun cycling through the tunnels, even though my bike had very poor brakes. The wine cellar itself is very impressive, with vast spaces and an almost surreal atmosphere. During the wine tastings, however, the guide poured us three types of wine and then left without giving any further information. I met another tourist who had been there a day after me, and they got to try five different wines and were given information about them. I’m actually a bit disappointed. I had expected more of a wine tasting. In the shop on the way out, there was a very uninterested salesperson, and I had to go up to the counter myself to get any help. I asked for a red wine, but the salesperson handed me a bottle of dessert wine instead—and I didn’t realize it until I got home. Sure, they may have over 1.5 million bottles of wine there, but apart from that, it wasn’t exactly a quality experience.
