Project Description
Rostov-on-Don 2021
9 — 12 September 2021
Rostov-on-Don: Merchants Manors, Cossack songs and the Don Valley wines.
A port of five seas or the southern capital of Russia? Rostov-on-Don shows a different character to every person. The architecture of the city will acquaint with its history, while feasts and folklore will reveal its traditions. We will make a yacht tour down the Don river to Cossack songs, we will visit new wineries and explore local gastronomy trends. Our route will be led by a native of Rostov and one of the most famous sommeliers in the country, Vlada Lesnichenko.
Rostov-on-Don is a city of rich history, it is vivid as a Cossack spirit and freedom-loving as the steppe of Don. Southern kindness gets along with legends on adventurers while habits of Tsarist Russia get along with innovative viticulture.

WE WILL DISCOVER:
— why former outpost of Catherine the Great became the capital of merchants;
— what the Free Cossacks songs sound like;
— where Bulgakov lost his wife’s bracelet at a billiard game;
— what is specific to the Don terroir and what type of winemaking is used.
