If you travel to taste the local cuisine, gastronomic tourism is what you need. This type of tourism helps to mix business with pleasure: you can taste delicious food and at the same time discover something new. Sounds fun, which means you should try it, and we've just found a few options on how you can do it in Belarus!
Alivaria Beer Museum
This factory has been working for more than 155 years, so it is a great reason to learn its history. During the excursion, the visitors will learn about the history of brewing in the world and in Belarus, as well as visit the factory. The excursions would never be so attractive if they haven't included tasting sessions — guests will be invited to taste 2 beer specialties.
The museum offers another entertainment — a guide to beer styles. Its visitors will get acquainted with the peculiarities of different beers, their recipes, and learn how to combine beer with food.
But, please, note, that since the excursion includes beer tasting, only persons who have attained the age of 18 can visit the museum.
Address: Minsk, 30/3 Kisialiova str.
Gingerbread House Pernik.by
Visitors can be sure that the time they spend in the Gingerbread House be delicious. Pernik.by conducts family workshops on cooking gingerbreads and their paintings, so the visitors will create their own souvenirs. During the excursion, guests will learn all about the gingerbreads: their history, the secrets of cooking, the types of these sweets, and the differences between them. Therefore, you will be able to absorb not only sweets but also knowledge!
Moreover, the visitors will see amazing exhibits in the Gingerbread House: items for making sweets: cutting boards, rolling pins, etc., and even a collection of gingerbreads, which includes items from different countries. The museum interior has an interesting design: everything there is made in the style of the traditional Belarusian hut.
The guests can buy gingerbreads there or order them to please their nearest and dearest with handmade sweets.
Address: Minsk, 11 Severny lane.
Ratov Snail Farm
If you want to find something French in Belarus, welcome to Ratov Snail Farm. This is the only snail farm in Belarus, and it's another reason to visit her. Snails are natural and healthy food, and they are considered a delicacy. The visitors will be able to taste snails in shells, snail pâté, snail tarts, and other gourmet dishes.
The guide at the farm is its owner, so the tour will be very informative: nobody knows more about snails.
Address: Hrodna region, Karelichsky village counsel, Dalhinava village, build. 70
Prime Chocolate Studio
To get back to the sweet point, we suggest you visit another place — the Prime Chocolate Studio. This is a studio that produces chocolate using bean-to-bar technology. Its visitors will learn about the advantages of this technology (spoiler: product quality and rich taste) and, of course, explore the history of chocolate production.
The organizers say that the tasting session will take 45-60 minutes — that's the time you'll need to enjoy the taste of the products not rushing anywhere.
Address: Minsk, 21 Kalvaryiskaya str., room 101
