Moldova Discovery: Unveiling a Hidden Gem in Eastern Europe

Overlooked by many tour operators, Moldova is one of Europe’s least-visited countries, but one that holds enormous potential for travelers in search of an authentic experience. The new “Moldova Discovery” tour from G Adventures offers an in-depth look at this mysterious country, home to peaceful rural landscapes, remnants of the Soviet era and a prosperous wine industry.

The tour begins in Moldova’s capital, Chișinău, where seekers will explore a mix of Soviet-inspired architecture, local markets and vibrant street art. From there, the tour goes to Orheiul Vechi, a UNESC recorded cultural site and home to a cave monastery which is dug into massive limestone cliff and affords stunning views and insight into the country’s deep religious and cultural history.

One of the finer points of the trip is a trip to Mileștii Mici, the worlds largest wine cellar, with over 200 kilometers of underground tunnels. Here, adventurers can experience some of Moldova’s best wines: taste its signature varietals and enjoy a special wine-tasting experience guided by regional experts.

Outside of the well-known sights, G Adventures are producing a sustainable tourism experience in which travelers meet local Moldovan communities too. This could involve having traditional meals with families in the community, learning from them about their arts, crafts and music, and participating in cultural workshops. The focus is on building genuine relationships with communities and giving back to local economies through tourism.
