Highlights
Stretching an impressive 200 km and deepening up to 85 meters, Mileștii Mici is the ultimate playground for wine lovers. These cellars are home to more than two million bottles of wine and have been listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the largest wine collection in the world. The winery is like an underground city, as the winding tunnels have been given street names to help people navigate them. Just a perfect place for a bike quest.

4Worth seeing
A good experience. You are picked up and put on the general tour. They don’t do biking tours at all anymore. Really interesting and worth seeing!
4The driver picked me up...
The driver picked me up from my hotel on time and it was not a long drive to the winery. Lovely first impression walking into the grounds. Checking into the tour was easy with the guide waiting for us. I was the only one doing the bike tour so we set off right away to start the tour. The experience cycling through the tunnels was great - unfortunately the tires on my bike were not fully inflated so it was a little difficult to cycle around. There were a couple stops and chances to walk into areas. The guide was very knowledgeable and shared a lot of information. Ended the tour with a tasting of 3 wines and a charcuterie plate. Only negative would be no information was shared on the wines I was tasting - nothing about grapes, year, or even shown the bottle. Overall still a lovely way to experience and learn about Moldovan vine.
5Fun experience
This tour was so cool and interesting. My guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. Biking through the cellars was a lot of fun. The tasting experience felt like a nice reward at the end of it. Very cool and I would do it avain!
5Electric train (not bike) tour
To be clear from the beginning, I booked the electric train/cart option not the cycling one, so please consider that in reading this review. The tour was well paced and took us deep into the cellars. Our guide was excellent and told great stories and history of not just the wines and cellars, but the background of people with win in the cellars, and all kinds of interesting info. Toward the end we were led to a wonderful room for a tasting of a few wines along with a small plate of food as palette cleansers. This was one of the best winery tours I’ve been lucky enough to experience.
5Bikes, Wine & Underground Tunnels — So Much Fun
Biking through the Milestii Mici winery was such a fun and slightly surreal experience. There were just three of us — me, one other guest from Italy, and our guide — which made it feel really relaxed and personal. Riding bikes through the underground tunnels (which are in the Guinness Book of Records!) was genuinely unforgettable. The tour wrapped up perfectly with great snacks and a generous wine tasting, which hit the spot after all the cycling. A must-do if you’re in Chișinău and want something a bit different.
5Cycling the world's biggest wine cellar
Collection was on time and efficient. Dropped at the winery and awaited the tour in plenty of time. The tour started on time and I was the only only on it! Enjoyed the cycling and seeing the cellars. Enjoyed the delicious wines. The music entertainment for one was a little much(!), but overall a fun and enjoyable experience and I glad I went.
