Transnistria Tour & Cricova Cellar with Wine Tasting
Come with us to discover one of Europe’s most unexplored corners — Moldova!
This unique tour offers a fascinating mix of culture, history, nature, and pleasure, taking you to some of the most intriguing places in the region.
⭐ Why join us?
Explore Europe’s least-visited country and step into Transnistria — a self-declared republic that ‘doesn’t exist’ on the map, a living Soviet relic still flying the hammer and sickle.
Travel safely with an experienced local guide.
Visit both Bender and Tiraspol, the main cities of Transnistria.
Admire striking Soviet architecture.
After the Transnistria experience, we return to Moldova for an unforgettable afternoon underground:
Cricova Winery (or optionally, the world-record-holding Milestii Mici)
Discover the legendary underground wine city of Cricova, with over 120 km of tunnels.
Wander its wide avenues lined with barrels, visit tasting rooms, and enjoy a guided wine tasting.
