Grape snails, cheese, lollipops and a cookery.

The journey begins! Before the trip, we recommend filling a full tank of quality fuel at Gazprom Neft's filling stations, and at the same time buying water and snacks on the way.

Start your journey with a visit to the eco-village. What's not to see here: a farm and grape snails, and goats, even crocodiles! You can visit them all or choose the most interesting ones.
At the snail farm you will learn about the life of snails and the peculiarities of their maintenance, cultivation and processing.
And after the tour there will be a snail cooking workshop! You will cut the snail yourself, make a paste of herbs and butter, fill the shell, and all that is left is to bake it in the oven. And afterwards there will be a tasting of cooked snails.
You can also take part in a master class on cheese-making. You will learn how to make one of the homemade cheeses of your choice.
You can also have lunch in the eco-tree. Here we will be served a farmer's lunch, cooked outside in a cauldron or on firewood. It consists of a first and second course, the first course can be soup or borscht, the second course can be potatoes with chicken or pilaf.
Pre-registration is required for tours, workshops and lunch at website.

And now we're going to visit the monument to the hero who saved an entire city from starvation..... Sounds intriguing, doesn't it?
In fact, this hero was the cucumber, thanks to which the residents of Lukhovitsy were able to earn money and feed themselves in the hungry 90s of XX century. Then the townspeople literally saved huge harvests of cucumbers, they were sent for sale in Moscow, and residents of the Russian capital appreciated the high quality of Lukhovitsy cucumbers.

You will learn where and how they discovered the ancient "formula" of Russian sugar makers, what they used to make candy from, and how a favorite dainty of all Russian boys and girls appeared - the famous "cockerel" on a stick.
You'll also find a tasty present to take with you and obligatory sweet tastings.
Pre-registration is required by phone or telegram.
There are also guided tours on weekends and holidays with a combined group at 11:00 am, 12:00 pm, 1:00 pm, 2:00 pm, 3:00 pm.
You can also sign up for a lollipop painting master class.
Please note that the museum is open from 10:00 to 18:00.

Dessert awaits us after lunch! And what could be better than chocolate for dessert? That's right - nothing ;)
At the Chocolate Museum you will taste chocolate and learn more about the history of its creation, and see the chocolate tree with your own eyes.
The tour is in audioguide format.
If you want to make and decorate your own chocolate, visit the chocolate master class. There you will learn the secret of pouring and decorating chocolate, and make a chocolate figurine yourself.
Pre-booking of the master class is required by phone at website.
Please note that the museum is only open at weekends.

Dinner will be at an extraordinary place - the Bread Square kitchen workshop. Kitchen Shops used to be called taverns, where they were fed cheaply and kindly.
But the cookery shop is not just a cafe, it is a real live museum of Russian culinary culture of the first quarter of XX century. The right mood will be created by a wall collection of posters of those interesting times, an interesting selection of colorful advertisements on a paper substrate under the plate and musical works reflecting the world of the era.
The menu is divided into two parts: old-mode and proletarian... I think you've already guessed which dishes each part includes :) Both parts are equally tasty and worthy of attention, as is the cookery itself.
Book a table in advance.

The day was busy, it was time to rest and prepare for tomorrow's varied day.
