When summer temperatures climb above 35°C, there's no better place to cool down than Moldova's famous underground wineries.
Instead of spending the day indoors, discover a unique world beneath the vineyards. Deep underground, the temperature naturally remains between 14 and 18°C all year round,
creating the perfect environment for aging exceptional wines—and offering visitors a refreshing escape from the summer heat.
Cool temperatures, outstanding wines and unforgettable experiences
Step into spectacular underground galleries where centuries of winemaking tradition come to life. The fresh air, peaceful atmosphere and endless wine cellars create an experience unlike anywhere else in Europe.
After your tour, reward yourself with a perfectly chilled glass of wine.
For hot summer days, we recommend:
- Fetească Albă
- Fetească Regală
- Viorica
- Sauvignon Blanc
- Chardonnay
- Traditional Method Moldovan Sparkling Wine
