Transnistria Day Trip: Soviet Sights & Local Tastings

Visit a country that doesn’t officially exist. Explore Soviet landmarks, travel in a classic 1990 Lada (small groups), taste brandy and finish with a caviar experience.
Step beyond the usual and cross into Transnistria - a self-declared state where Soviet symbols remain and time seems to have paused.

After departing from Chișinău, you’ll pass through border control and enter a region that few travellers visit. For smaller groups, part of the journey is made even more memorable with travel in a classic Soviet-era Lada - a unique way to experience the atmosphere of the region (vehicle type may vary depending on group size).

In Tiraspol, discover wide boulevards, Lenin statues and Soviet-era landmarks that offer a glimpse into a different chapter of history.

The experience then shifts from history to flavour. You’ll visit the renowned KVINT Distillery, where you’ll enjoy a tasting of locally produced brandy aged using traditional methods.

After a relaxed, traditional lunch, the day concludes with a unique highlight: a visit to a local sturgeon farm. Here, you’ll learn about caviar production and enjoy a tasting to end the experience on a refined note.

This tour offers a contrast of cultures, flavours and experiences - from Soviet-era streets to local culinary traditions - all in one carefully paced day.
