      Birthday at Mimi Castle & Transnistria
      The key to any successful trip lies in choosing the right people to guide you through the new territories. The agency we went with in Moldova and Transnistria was wonderful, they managed to show us the less accessible places. The services were top notch, the minibus that transported us, the local guide, the restaurants chosen, the attention to detail,... I highly recommend the agency.

      Milestii Mici Winery
      Nice trip in the wine cellars of Milestii Mici. Unfortunally our guide was very quick and hard to hear/understand.

      Amazing place but boring guide
      I recommend to make a reservation with WineTours Moldova as they offer convenient orders of different tours online. We visit Cricova - amazing landmark in Moldova but the tour was of average quality due to boring guide who just recited the text and tried to sell us a bottle of wine. We were slightly disappointed from this guiding style and recommend to Cricova to improve the guiding services.

      Great Tour!
      We have very much enjoyed the tour at Castel Mimi. The Guide spoke perfect English and was very polite and attentive to details. Wine testing went well. We highly recommend it!

      Our reviez
      The language wasnt very nice while we were organising our event's needs such as city tour and the pickups. You do not talk with an attitude towards your customer:) Service was considered good but one of the guide did not listen to our director's suggestion regarding the walking tour. He told her we would need to speed up to catch up with our guests (second group) but she did not listen to him. Most importantly, I specifically indicated that the two groups have to be in the wine tasting venue at the same time but they couldnt manage.

      Fantastic 2 days of wine tours!
      I searched and searched for some wine tour companies in Moldova & am very happy with this one. I knew the names of a few wineries people suggested and I asked the company to come up with a 2 day tour that covered some of the northern wineries on the first day and southern on the 2nd day. On Day 1 we did 2 wineries and the monastery at Orheiul Vechi which was great & worth it. Cricova and Chateau Vartley were great. where they took us to lunch in a cave was fantastic, Epoca de Piatra. On Day 2 we went south to Mileștii Mici, Asconi Winery, and Castle Mimi. Castle Mimi was pretty, but our least favorite, it felt somewhat 'cold' in personality. The underground tunnels for Cricova and Milestii Mici are enormous and if it is your first time visiting a winery, you will be spoiled b/c I have never encountered that before & likely won't again! The tour guide that was with us, Laurentia, was fantastic & her English was great. Our driver didn't speak English but he was still engaging somehow. They picked us up at our accommodation each morning and she was very knowledgeable about Moldova in general. I highly recommend this tour company to help you arrange your visits to different wineries.

      Tour Operator and Transportation for Winery Visits in Moldova
      As a group of travelers, we had a good experience with Wine Tours. Veronica promptly answered to our email requests and ensured the smooth running of our trip. We also requested the transportation service for our own planned one week tour. We were daily notified per email about the driver timetable. I would recommend this service for tourists that travel by themselves (without a Romanian speaking person or a local buddy).

    Awful service. When tried to book an excursion at Cricova Winery the women on the phone was completely unprofessional with an aggressive attitude. She couldn’t share any information and hanged the phone without letting with an answer.
    It’s impossible to admit that such behaviors could be tolerated.

    This tour really exceeded all my expectations, given the fact that I also was the youngest one in the group for such a privilege.

    We visited entire Moldova and its wineries along very tasty food and diverse people from all over the world with whom I had a lot of fun together. The organization and schedule was more than great, well balanced and it leaves you with the feeling that was nothing else you could have done and didn't have the chance to do so, because our great tour guide Nicolina made her best to decouple us from the ordinary through her jovial and friendly care.

    It was a marathon of wine tasting and food pairing with traveling to some of the best wineries in Europe right here in Moldova. A great opportunity for learning about the history of this country where the brands are self promoting at a very high quality in the entire world. I also had the chance to do a lot of networking with a lot of wise people and business owners from whom I've learned a lot.

    And this was just the beginning, can't wait to join the group next year and over and over again!

    Thank you for all your wonderful moments!

    I have an amazing experience with WineTours. Veronica promptly organized everything and ensured the smooth running of our trip. She also provided us with transportation to and fro the two wineries visited- Milestii Mici and Castel Mimi.

    I highly recommend to both locals and foreigners.
