Mileștii Mici is a renowned winery and wine cellar located in the Republic of Moldova, near the capital city of Chișinău. It is particularly famous for housing one of the largest wine collections in the world, earning it a place in the Guinness World Records.

The history of Mileștii Mici dates back to 1969 when the first underground tunnels were excavated for the purpose of wine storage. Initially, the tunnels were created as limestone quarries, but they were later repurposed for aging and storing wine due to their optimal conditions. The natural underground environment, with constant temperatures and high humidity levels, proved to be ideal for wine maturation.

Over the years, Mileștii Mici expanded its network of underground tunnels, creating an extensive labyrinth that stretches for over 250 kilometers (120 km survived to this day). These tunnels became the perfect storage space for the winery's vast wine collection.

Mileștii Mici produces a variety of wines, including red, white, and sparkling wines, made from both local and international grape varieties. The winery has gained international recognition for the quality of its wines.

In 2005, Mileștii Mici was acknowledged by the Guinness World Records as the winery with the largest wine collection in the world. The cellar holds an impressive array of wines, some of which are rare and date back several decades.

The winery has become a popular tourist attraction, offering guided tours through its underground cellars, where visitors can witness the vast collection of wine barrels and bottles. Additionally, Mileștii Mici hosts wine tastings, allowing guests to sample a selection of their wines.

Mileștii Mici continues to play a significant role in the Moldovan wine industry, combining tradition with innovation in the production and storage of wine.
