10:21 Meeting with the guide in Shuya on the platform at the entrance to the station. The sign “Gastronomic tastes".
Boarding the bus (there is free seating on the bus).
Back in ancient times, people chose a hill on the left bank of the Teza River and, without further ado, named the settlement by the name “Shuya” — that's how the left side was called in ancient times. In the XIV century, it became the patrimony of one of the branches of the Suzdal princes, who received the nickname Shuisky. The Princes Shuisky, brave and wayward, proud of their belonging to the Rurikovichi, played a significant role in Russian history.
Maybe that's why this small town was once famous, and its life was closely connected with important milestones in the development of the Russian state.
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 tinctures.
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.
Sightseeing tour of Shuya.
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 “candle” bell tower in Russia, 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.
A hearty lunch of Russian cuisine in a cafe.
Moving to the village of Vasilyevskoye with a rich history and its own brand.
The village of Vasilyevskoye in the Shuisky district was famous for its pretzels at the beginning of the 20th century, delicious bread in Soviet times, and now printed gingerbread. The family that bakes them called such gingerbread cookies Vasilyevsky.
The bakery organizes workshops on cooking gingerbread.
Everyone can see the gingerbread production process and take an active part in it, taking with them a hand-made fragrant delicacy.

For those who want the opportunity to collect water from a healing spring and the opportunity to plunge into the Holy spring.
Visit to the private museum of Bread and Parsky Kalach Museum.
Here you will immerse yourself in the fascinating history of baking.
The whole range of works on its manufacture is presented — starting from plowing the land and sowing, ending with the moment when a fresh loaf is taken out of the oven. The museum's exposition clearly shows the evolution of the tools that peasants have used for centuries (harrow, hand millstones, mortars). The history of bread is inseparable from the history of mankind. This is evidenced by numerous archaeological finds and written sources.
The hospitable hostess Elena Kalacheva will not only conduct an interesting tour, but also treat you to the famous Parsky kalach.
The Museum of bread and Parsky Kalach is an original story, a fascinating journey into the past and the aroma of fresh pastries.
