Your Moldova, built around what you actually came for

Moldova rewards the traveller who has already seen the rest of Europe. It has the largest wine cellars in the world, a Soviet republic frozen in 1991 next door, and villages where lunch is still made by the person who grew it.

Tell us about your trip

A minute is enough. We send a costed day-by-day route within 48 business hours — or the planning is free.

    Free, no obligation. One reply, from a person in Chisinau.

    A good deal of what makes the trip is not bookable from a hotel and a list on Google Maps. Some wineries receive only by prior arrangement. Some family tables seat a handful of guests. The small producers, the craftspeople and the rural guesthouses are scattered the length of the country — and the best roads are not the ones the map suggests.

    That is what we do. You tell us what interests you and how long you have. We build the week, drive it with you, and open the doors that do not open to people who arrive alone.

    Who this is for

    A couple with a week

    Wine, food, monasteries, countryside — at your pace, not a coach’s.

    A family or group of friends

    One of you organises; we handle the rest. One vehicle, one guide who speaks your language.

    Someone who has already travelled a lot

    You are not looking for a checklist. You want the version of Moldova that takes local knowledge to reach.

    What your trip can combine

    • Wine — Cricova, Mileștii Mici, Purcari, Castel Mimi, and the small producers who are on no list.
    • Culture and history — Chișinău, Orheiul Vechi, monasteries, rural heritage.
    • Food — Moldovan cooking, markets, tastings, lunch in somebody’s kitchen.
    • Villages — traditional houses, craftspeople, producers, rural guesthouses.
    • Transnistria — Tiraspol, Bender, accompanied, border formalities handled.
    • Nature and slow travel — vineyards, the Dniester landscapes, days at your own pace.
    • Particular interests — photography, wine, Soviet architecture, professional visits.

    How it works

    1. Tell us the shape of the trip. Dates, how many of you, how long, what pulls you here. A minute on the form above.
    2. We send a proposed route within 48 business hours. Day by day, with what it costs. No obligation.
    3. We adjust it until it is yours. Most trips go through two or three versions. That is normal, and it is the point.
    4. You arrive. We drive. One guide, one vehicle, everything booked.

    Three things we put in writing

    1. 48 business hours, or we plan it freeA costed day-by-day route within 48 business hours of your enquiry. Miss it, and the planning costs you nothing.
    2. Rewritten until it is rightMost trips go through two or three versions. Nobody has ever paid for a revision.
    3. No reseller markupYou are buying from the operator. There is no middleman margin in this price, because there is no middleman.

    What it costs

    Most weeks land between €690 and €1,390 per person.

    Guide, driver, vehicle, entries and tastings in. Flights out.

    What we can prove

    • 4.8 / 5 on TripAdvisor — 32 traveller reviews
    • A local agency based in Chișinău — not a reseller
    • Guides working across Moldova, Transnistria, Gagauzia and into Ukraine

    Where most trips start

    These itineraries already exist. Most tailor-made trips begin with one of them and move away from there.

    The questions people actually ask

    Is Moldova safe?

    Yes. It is a small, quiet country with very little crime against visitors. You are with a guide and a driver the whole time, and one named person is reachable on WhatsApp for the entire trip.

    Is it worth a whole week?

    A week is what most people take. Three days covers Chisinau and one cellar. A week reaches Orheiul Vechi, the north, Transnistria and a family table, without moving hotels every night.

    What about Transnistria?

    We cross it regularly and handle the border formalities for you. It is a day trip from Chisinau, and it is usually the part of the week people talk about afterwards.

    Will our guide speak our language?

    English, French, German, Italian or Romanian. You tell us which when you enquire.

    What if our dates move?

    Tell us and we rebuild the route. Most trips go through two or three versions before they are booked.

    What is not included?

    Flights. Everything on the ground is quoted before you commit, so there is nothing to discover later.

    Tell us what you want to see

    A costed day-by-day route within 48 business hours, or the planning is free. No obligation either way.
