Best Day Trip in MOLDOVA : OLD ORHEI and WINE TASTING

On Europe’s far eastern frontier, cradled between Ukraine and Romania, lies Moldova—a land often overlooked by the tourist. This small, post-Soviet nation is a hidden treasure, untouched by mass tourism, yet rich in history, culture, and warmth.
After immersing myself in the vibrant streets of Chișinău, I set my sights beyond the capital, drawn to the rolling countryside. Here, time slows, revealing ancient monasteries steeped in tradition and vineyards that tell a story of Moldova’s deep-rooted winemaking heritage.

Great video, I'm travelling to Moldova next month and plan to check out Old Orhei and Cricovia winery

Great video! I'm here right now and planning to do the same thing. Just to clarify: we can just walk into the winery and walk around the compound without doing a tour? Did you take a bus from Butuceni to Chisinau and stop at Cricova, and from Cricova how did you go back to Chisinau? Thanks!

Totally fascinating. Love the artwork in the monastery on the cliff face. I could see myself visiting there on my trip to Europe (on my way home to NZ) this year

I’m wondering how the wine was. Definitely worth it to just pay $2 per glass (generous servings) and forego the tour.

Hello I would like to know, being in Moldova with a residence permit, can I take a residence permit to the border to enter Romania even for a week?
