Beschrijving
Climb aboard our heroic Soviet Lada for a wine adventure to the Cricova and Milesti Mici wineries. Four guests, superb Moldovan wine, huge underground cellars and a suspension that adds character.
Meet your noble Soviet chariot and prepare for The Soviet Wine Safari. Four guests climb into a heroic vintage Lada, piloted by our calm designated driver and host who insists the day is a “serious cultural investigation.”
We rumble out of Chișinău and descend underground into the vast wine tunnels of Cricova Winery where the streets are named after grape varieties and the cellars stretch for kilometres. Somewhere between Chardonnay Avenue and Pinot Street you’ll begin to realise Moldova takes wine very seriously.
Back above ground, the adventure continues across vineyards and countryside roads that provide the Lada with a small but meaningful suspension workout. The reward is another legendary underground kingdom at Milestii Mici Winery, home to one of the largest wine collections on Earth.
Along the way there will be stories, questionable Soviet engineering, excellent Moldovan wine and plenty of stops while the Lada cools down and reflects on its glorious past.
Small group. Big cellars. One unforgettable ride through Moldova’s wine world.

BELANGRIJKE INFORMATIE
Our meeting point is outside the wonderfully Soviet Cosmos Hotel, a grand concrete relic that has been confidently greeting travellers since the Cold War but sadly now closed. Stand near the entrance and look for a slightly heroic Lada and a chap with a Tipple Tours T-Shirt. If you see a car that looks like it survived several historical events and a driver who appears calmly prepared for Moldovan roads, congratulations, you’ve found us.
