Getting from Chisinau Airport (RMO) to Cricova takes about 1h by car on an empty road (60–70 min in heavy traffic) over 34 km via R2 and R6. Our private transfer costs €45 for a car with 1–3 passengers or €65 for a van with 4–8 — the vehicle price you see is the price you pay at booking.
On arrival: The driver waits in the public arrivals hall of the passenger terminal, after baggage reclaim and the customs exit, holding a sign with your name. If the flight is late, the driver adjusts to the real landing time; 60 minutes of waiting are included and help with the luggage is part of the service.
Cricova is a small town within the municipality of Chișinău, about 27 km north of the airport and 15 km from the city centre, known for its underground winery. The route crosses the city on Dacia and Decebal boulevards and Albișoara Street, then takes Calea Orheiului and the R6 road towards Orhei, leaving it on the short access road into Cricova. There are no road tolls. Traffic is usually heaviest on Calea Orheiului at the northern exit of the city during rush hours.
The Cricova winery keeps its wine in former limestone quarries under the town, a network of tunnels that runs for dozens of kilometres and is laid out like streets named after grape varieties. Visits are organised as guided tours booked in advance, starting at the winery's surface buildings, and parts of the tour are made by vehicle inside the galleries, with tasting rooms and the national wine collection underground. Temperatures in the tunnels stay cool all year, so a jacket is useful even in summer. The rest of Cricova is a quiet residential town with vineyards around it.
Public transport instead: Regia Transport Electric Chișinău (municipal public transport) trolleybus 30 from Chișinău International Airport to Chișinău city centre (Ștefan cel Mare și Sfânt Boulevard – 31 August 1989 Avenue), daily 06:00–22:59 (airport timetable), 1 change. No direct public transport from the airport to Cricova: line 30 runs to the centre of Chișinău, from where suburban routes run north to the town of Cricova.
