Day Trips from Chișinău

Visit Milestii Mici the Largest Wine Cellar in the World

Fascinating place to visit but poor value for money

If you're going to Moldova this is a place you really have to visit, it's amazing to experience just how huge it is. However, we paid more than £70 per person for the tour, and considering how cheap Moldova is in general, this was way too much money for the two hours we spent there. We were in a group of about 25 people, taken to a few locations for brief explanations about what we were looking at for about an hour. You are then served a lunch of meats, nuts, bread sticks and prunes to have with your three wines. It's all very tasty and the area you do this in is lovely, but I was expecting a bit of information from the guide about how to properly taste the wines, you're pretty much just left to your own devices to drink them. You get a free bottle of wine each at the end of the tour, but that same bottle of wine was on sale in the gift shop for £4, so again the value for money is highly questionable. Our guide who picked us up and dropped us off was very friendly, and as I say it's a really cool experience to go to the world's biggest wine cellar. But I guess it is now a little bit of a tourist trap, and considering this was the cheapest group tour I could find online, it's still very overpriced.
