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.

Good memories

Perhaps I have been on many tour groups before, but this is the first time. It feels like traveling with friends. Wonderful memories. Maybe I will come back.

Highly recommended trip

From the moment I arrived, this trip felt like stepping into a dream I didn’t want to wake up from. Every detail—from the warm welcome to the breathtaking surroundings—was simply perfect. What truly made the experience unforgettable, though, was the people. The staff went above and beyond at every opportunity, always greeting us with genuine smiles and thoughtful touches that made us feel special. Their recommendations led me to some of the most authentic and delightful experiences of the entire trip. The food was another highlight—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every meal felt like a celebration of local culture, and I found myself looking forward to each dining experience as much as the excursions. If you’re looking for a trip that combines beauty, comfort, and unforgettable experiences, this is it. I left with incredible memories, a full heart, and already planning my return. Highly, highly recommended!
