Why it’s worth visiting

The story

The official Cricova wine shop on Alexei Șciusev Street features illuminated oak shelving and the full Cricova portfolio: from classic reds and whites to exceptional sparkling wines, aged divin, and reserve selections rarely found elsewhere. Staff recommend bottles based on occasion—gift, dinner, collection—and explain the profile of each wine. Prices are lower than supermarkets, making it ideal for tourists who want to buy directly from the source, properly packaged for travel. Open seven days a week, with a bright, modern interior flooded with natural light from the glass roof. Helpful and knowledgeable staff make choosing your six-bottle export limit much easier.
