This is an exploratory post to gather interest, if you want to participate, please post a message. 24 January is a holiday, hence a long weekend.

In general terms, the idea is ...
23 Jan, Thursday, around 4PM, leaving Cluj to Iasi. Check in for one night in Iasi, at the Majestic hotel.
24 Jan, Friday, visit Iasi in the morning, then cross the border into Moldova and visit Milestii Mici winery. Check in at Hotel Astoria, Chisinau, for 2 nights.
25 Jan, Saturday, visit Cricova winery in the AM, and Purcari winery in the PM (or vice-versa)
26 Jan, Sunday, checkout and drive back to Cluj.
Estimate cost: ~120 euro for 3 nights+breakfast (2 in room)
~100*3=300RON entries to the three wineries' basic visit packages. There are also other packages.
I am wiling to drive, I have a VW Passat, and can take 3 additional people.
What do you think?
Once we form the group, I'll seek reservations for entries to the wineries, and book the hotels in Iasi and Chisinau.
Date to decide, by Wed 15 Jan.
