Life On The Road Day 687: Visited Mileștii Mici in Moldova

Already shared about the 3 wineries we visited arranged by Winetours Moldova, and below is another one! Hahaha Can't believe I had a lot of drinks but no hangover, definitely good quality of wine

The wineries in Moldova win awards every year in global competitions. The country holds the world's largest wine collections, even being recorded in the Guinness World Records.

On our visit, we are visiting 5 of the top wineries in the country, and we will still only be scratching the surface of what Moldova has to offer.

After our city tour, we visited our first winery, Mileștii Mici, which is located in a former underground limestone quarry.

We entered the old quarry through an opening on the mountain's side and soon started to see old wooden barrels and steel casks lining the tunnel walls.

At the deepest, we reached 65 meters below the surface where some of the oldest wines are stored at a steady temperature and humidity.

We ended the tour by tasting 5 wines and a four-course lunch in front of a roaring open fireplace.

Actually, we ended the tour with 6 bottles from the wine shop!
