Shuya is famous as the birthplace of the "elected tsar" Vasily Shuisky, merchant dynasties, holy icons, the wondrous beauty of the Church of the Resurrection of Christ and the tallest in Russia "candle" bell tower, whose height is 106 m.
And also Shuisky harmonicas, Shuisky chintz, Shuisky embroidery and Shuisky liqueurs were famous all over the country.
The object of our pride, our history, was collected bit by bit here and is carefully preserved.
Shuya is not only the history of Russia, but also the tastes and traditions of Russian cuisine.
And we will begin our acquaintance according to the good old tradition with a counter tea.
We will visit one of the first wineries and learn its history in the Museum "State Wine Warehouse No. 3", where You will be treated to berry infusions.
At the end of the XIX and the beginning of the XX century, the construction of more than 300 state-owned wineries (warehouses, as they were called then) was started. One of these factories was the Shuisky state-owned Wine warehouse, later known as the Shuisky Distillery.
Currently, an exposition has been created on the territory of Shuiskaya Vodka JSC in a historical building of the late 19th century, telling about the development of the plant from 1899 to the present day.
The tour tells about the history of one of the oldest enterprises in the city.
The products use grain alcohol "Lux", purified artesian water from its own well with a depth of 125 m, natural berries and herbs.
And you are already waiting for a private "Cheese factory behind glass", where a glass wall separates the workshop and the store, so that customers can see the entire cheese production process.
The company produces more than 15 types of soft and semi–hard varieties, cheese for frying haloumi, American Parmesan Monterey Jack (the only hard cheese in the assortment so far) and camembert cheese with white mold, as well as butter and cottage cheese.
Cheeses are made using both European technologies and Soviet-era developments.
You will have the opportunity to buy the products of the cheese factory.

Transfer to the amazing village of Parskoye.
Those approaching the village of Parskoye will already see the ancient cathedral from afar.
And once they are near it, they will notice a beautiful swimming pool under the hill, built next to the Holy Spring.
They say it was he who gave rise to the settlement.
Since ancient times, highways from other prosperous settlements – Dunilova, Ivanov, Palekh - crossed in the village of Parskoye. And thanks to its convenient geographical location, the village of Parskoye has become an ideal place for large-scale trade!
Since the XVII century, annual so-called Ivanovo fairs have been held in Parskoye. Local rolls and redheads were sent by wagons to Moscow.
For those who wish, there will be an opportunity to collect water from a healing spring and the opportunity to plunge into the Holy Spring.
