Moldova

Moldova is Europe’s undiscovered treasure, offering rolling vineyards, Soviet-era charm, and warm hospitality. Explore the world’s largest wine cellars at Cricova, where miles of underground tunnels store exceptional wines. Wander Chișinău’s leafy parks and Soviet architecture, or step back in time at Orheiul Vechi’s ancient cave monasteries. The countryside reveals rustic villages, sunflower fields, and homemade Moldovan feasts with placinte (savory pies) and local wine.
