Additional Information

Milestii Mici Winery offers a unique experience to explore the largest winery on Earth, established in 1969 with the purpose of minor storage, maturation, and preservation of top-notch wines. The underground passages stretch over 200 km, burrowed in layers of limestone rock from 35 to 80 meters underground. It’s a unique subterranean city renowned for its massive, labyrinthine network of corridors and boasts the largest wine collection globally.
In addition, the Manuc Bei mansion, situated in the town of Hâncești, is a significant tourist attraction. Constructed in the early 19th century, in 1816, by the well-known Italian architect Bernardazzi. The palace, often referred to as the ‘Moldovan Versailles,’ adheres to the principles of French classicism. We’ll tour the hunting Castle, the Museum of Natural History and Ethnography, as well as The Manuc Bei Mansion.

Very nice tour in the neighbourhood of Chisinau - 🇬🇧 Well organised- everything worked a promised. Pick up right on time in front of my hotel, then direct drive to the Manuc- Bey- Complex, then Lunch break and after that the final drive to Mileştii Mici. All guides explained everything well and there was enough time for own questions and fotos. After a happy wine- tasting (+free gift) with music & other tourists Guide Slava drove me back to my hotel in Chisinau. Many Thanks for the experience! 🇩🇪 Gut organisierte Tour in Chisinaus Umgebung. Pünktliche Abholung am Hotel, Fahrt zum Manuc- Bey- Komplex in Hîncești. Danach Mittagspause in der Stadt, anschließend zum Mileştii- Mici- Weingut. Fahrt + Führung durch die Anlage, zum Ausklang Weinverkostung mit musikalischer Begleitung & anderen Touristengruppen. Transfer zurück zum Hotel- Danke für den erlebnisreichen Tag!
