Beskrivelse

Welcome to Moldova and BEOURGUEST

On this tour, you have the opportunity to visit the most beautiful and famous places in the country.

The excursion will start from Chisinau and you will go to the picturesque Old Orhei, where hills and peaks will fascinate you. You will take a one-hour walk to the holy shrine, famous for the cave monasteries located there. This zone was ideal for the primary monasticism of the early Christian community. It was isolated from the outer world. At the time, when Christians reached this place, there had been smaller and bigger caves in the calcareous rocks cut by pre-historic tribes living on this territory.

Next, you will visit Cricova Winery a real underground wine city with wide streets, warehouses, and tasting rooms. The total length of the tunnels is 120 km. The “Grand Cellars of Cricova” house a varied collection of wines and the National Oenotec. The unique exhibits (“Jerusalem of Easter” vintage 1902, the liqueur “Jan Becher” vintage 1902) together with other 158 brands of liqueurs from Burgundy, Moselle, Tokay, and the Rhine are in the collection, which includes today a total of about 1.3 million bottles.

Finally, you’ll visit one of the most picturesque sites of Moldova: the Cultural and Natural Reserve “Orheiul Vechi” (Cave Monastery Complex), 55 km from Chisinau.
