This excursion from Chisinau invites you to discover the charm of the Cricova winery along with the stunning Orheiul Vechi and Curchi monasteries, essential highlights of Moldova's rich cultural landscape.
Description
At the scheduled departure time, a pick-up service will be available from your hotel in Chisinau, initiating an adventure to some of Moldova's most significant cultural sites.
Our first destination features two of the nation's most celebrated monasteries: Curchi and Orheiul Vechi. The journey begins at Curchi, which lies in the serene Vatici Valley, surrounded by the lush Codru forests. Here, you'll uncover the historical background of the monastery and explore the distinctive aspects of Moldovan religious architecture.
Following this, we’ll proceed to Orheiul Vechi, a remarkable open-air museum showcasing the remains of ancient towns and fortifications, including the remnants of the Mongol city of Shehr Jedid and a stunning rock church. After our exploration of these archaeological wonders, enjoy some leisurely time for lunch at a traditional establishment featuring authentic Moldovan dishes.
Once we have enjoyed our meal, we’ll reconvene and head to the renowned Cricova winery, the country’s second-largest. The winery's exquisite wines are matured in underground caves located 60 to 80 meters (196 to 262 feet) deep, a place that has attracted illustrious visitors, including the astronaut Yuri Gagarin.
You will embark on a guided tour of the winery, gaining insights into the intricate wine production process. Following our visit, we will return to Chisinau, concluding the day with a drop-off back at your hotel after approximately 8 hours of engaging activities.
