We offer you a unique opportunity to visit a real Russian dacha!

One of the concepts of Russian culture is connected with tea-drinking (чаепитие) that is strongly affiliated to another cultural phenomenon – Dacha – traditional Russian summer house where people spend free time, work in the garden and meet guests. Wild herbs and berries picked up in the forest around dacha and in its garden in summer season are the best source of health and different teas made from them give people energy in winter time.

Our host Olga invites you to traditional tea-drinking ceremony to her dacha where it will be possible to learn more about Russian culture and try teas with different ingredients. Every participant will have the chance to make his/her own tea from different herbs/berries and take it as a souvenir from Estonia!

Olga is a teacher of Russian, so it will be possible to practice the language and learn new vocabulary connected with dacha and tea-drinking. Candles and a fireplace will make time at dacha more cosy!

До встречи на дачном чаепитии!

Fee

The fee for the trip is 70 EUR. The price includes transportation to the dacha and back (30-40 minutes by car) and activities on the spot mentioned above.
