Traditional Tea Ceremony with Samovar and Russian Appetizers (pirogkis, blinis, pryaniks)
The samovar was an indispensable item in every household of the country, from humble families to the upper-class, before the revolution. Tea ceremonies with a samovar where water was brewed with the help of heated charcoal were accompanied by small plates with traditional Russian snacks and sweets that all guests could try while enjoying talking with their hosts. A variety of teas are used for these ceremonies, including some local herbs, such as ivan chai, that was even exported to the British Empire and other European countries in the past. Tea ceremonies were usually held in backyard gardens of summer houses in the warm season and for colder months samovars with water were first heated outside and then taken inside the house. Samovars themselves were state of the art pieces and one look at them was enough to judge on a social position and income of their owner. We invite you to enjoy the traditional tea ceremony with delicious snacks and get to know more about incredible samovars with us!

Husky Sleigh Ride in Winter
Various husky breeds have been transporting people and goods in the far north of Russia and America from time immemorial and they were indispensable in the households of local indigenous tribes who lived hand in hand with them and trained them to perform various tasks. Husky dogs are known for their friendly and tender temperament and they are perfect company for a snow ride in the winter forest! Depending on the snow conditions the sled ride can be taken either in the vicinity of St. Petersburg or in Karelia, a beautiful land of rocks and lakes to the north of St. Petersburg.

You will be able to make a perfect souvenir from your trip with the help of an experienced artist and your own imagination.

Russian Banya
You can't say that you know this country well if you have never tried the Russian banya, an important part of our lives and an excellent way to "clean your body and soul". There are a great variety of bathhouses in Russia – from public banyas, some of which are more reminiscent of palaces, to private wooden bathhouses in the countryside. It is up to you to choose whether you will try the city banya, such as the Sanduny Public Bath in Moscow while marveling at its enormous interiors or if you would prefer to spend a day in the countryside away from the city buzz enjoying the banya and other interesting Russian activities.
