Milestii Mici, the world's largest underground wine cellar, houses tunnels stretching 200 km in length and the "Golden Wine Collection" located 80 meters underground. This impressive cellar, which entered the Guinness Book of World Records in 2005, offers a unique experience for wine enthusiasts and history lovers. During the tour, we explore the cellar with a guide using special buggy vehicles. After the cellar visit, we move to the tasting area and enjoy our wine tasting accompanied by appetizers.

Built in the 13th century to defend against Tatar raids, this fortress was conquered by the Ottomans in the 16th century and took the name Bender Fortress during the reign of Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent. After enjoying the view from Bender Fortress, we proceed to the city of Tiraspol, walking through its streets filled with Soviet architecture, and visiting key sites such as the Suvorov Monument, Tank Monument, local markets, and parks.
