The story

Underland Wine and Music Fest in Cricova

Underland Wine and Music Fest, launched in 2017 at the Cricova winery, is billed as the world's first underground street-music festival, staged each February within the winery's cellars. The venue splits into White Wine, Red Wine and Sparkling Wine districts across 4 kilometres of tunnels, hosting over 100 national and international artists on three stages plus street performers.

Cricova's underground wine city was built for storage long before anyone considered it a festival venue.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

No other festival setting quite matches performing music inside a working wine cellar spanning 4 kilometres of tunnels, which is what makes Underland distinctive among European wine and music events

02

The mystery stays covered

Cricova's underground wine city, already known for its vast storage tunnels, becomes a festival venue for one weekend each February, divided into themed districts named for White Wine, Red Wine and Sparkling Wine, so navigating the festival doubles as a walk through the winery's own organizing logic

03

The city starts moving

Billing itself as the world's first underground street-music festival is a bold claim, but the scale backs it up: more than 100 artists perform across three stages, supplemented by street performers such as jugglers and living statues working the tunnel corridors between stages
