Cricova represents a unique underground city well-known all over the world by its huge labyrinths, and especially by its excellent wines. Cellars of Cricova are the house of a remarkable collection of wines — The National Oenotec and Old Orhei , open air museum, and archeological complex together form the most famous tourist attraction in Orhei and possibly Moldova.

Wenn man nur 2 ganze Tage in Moldova zur Verfügung hat, muss man natürlich gut auswählen, und so entschied ich mich bei Tag 1 für diese Tour... :) Bei schönstem Wetter von Guide Nicolai am Hotel abgeholt, ging es auf dieser individuellen Tour durchs Land und es gab sehr viel wissenswertes zu erfahren; dabei konnten jede Menge Eindrücke gesammelt, Fotos geschossen und zum Schluss div. Weine in einer coolen Location getestet werden... :D War ein super Tag; vielen Dank an Nicolai & Agency... :)

I took a tour with local guide Valery Bradu which my hotel (Hotel Plai) organised for me. I was picked up from my hotel by Valery at around 11:30am and shared the trip with two ladies from Lithuania. Valery made sure we were all comfortable in his car and spoke to the ladies in Russian and myself in English and made sure we all had a good day.
We visited Cricova winery where a guide spoke to the other guests in Russian and Valery gave me a private talk about the winery in English. As part of the trip we drove around underground on a small open bus seeing the caskets and how they make wine & Prosecco, we then took part in wine tasting which was very informative and relaxing in one of the tasting rooms. The tour lasted around 2 hours.
Once we left the winery, Valery drove us for around an hour to the monastery which was in a remote location in the Moldovan countryside/hills which was so peaceful with a quintessential little village. We went to the hidden monastery and again Valery taught us everything we needed to know about the area and how & why the monastery was formed. We stopped for a drink in a local restaurant too & we’re watching locals working the land.
Valery was a very knowledgeable guide with perfect English & was clearly very passionate about his job & his love for Moldova was clear. Very enjoyable day & would definitely recommend Valery as your guide, he seemed to know everything there was to know about Moldova & it’s history.
