Rest after the coronavirus: gastronomic tourism

The coronavirus pandemic will end sooner or later, which means that tourist traffic in Russia will revive again.

This is not happening as quickly as we would like, as the virus continues to be on the list of dangerous threats and certain travel restrictions remain.

Individual tourism is a priority

What do coronavirus restrictions mean for tourists planning to travel?

Basically, only one thing: when choosing a tour, preference should be given to individual trips, the reasons for which are several.

First, in the group there is a high risk of catching a malicious infection. Secondly, no one knows when the next wave of coronavirus will strike, after which the authorities can ban group travel. It is very unpleasant when the already planned vacation breaks down, and the ticket has to be handed over to the tour operator.

Thirdly, individual trips are always more interesting, as they can be carried out along a unique route.

Gastronomic tours: relax and eat delicious!

The uniqueness factor of travel is especially relevant for non-standard types of tourism, for example, gastronomic tours. This is due to the fact that going to the tour is appropriate for a specific action held in a particular region, and at a specific time. It is not always possible to get into such an event as part of a group. Individually, you are always welcome.

In Russia, gastrotourism is only gaining momentum, and is developing incredibly dynamically.

Recently, dozens of interesting events related to delicious food and its tasting took place in our country.

For example, in the summer of 2019, the center of gastronomic tourism in Russia became Buryatia: there was a tourist week "On the Great Silk Road", in which visitors were revered with local delights - from Tunkin cheburek to bichur potatoes, which can not be found anywhere except the Republic.

Not long before that in suzdal It was called “Culture Day”, which the organizers have already made regular. Here gourmets could taste cucumbers in the most incredible hypostases: from ordinary salty to exotic sweets.

Already in 2020, when some restrictions related to the coronavirus were lifted, lovers of seafood could go to sea. Vladivostok Mussel Festival.

In early summer, two dozen local cafes and restaurants prepared dishes from a special menu.

In addition to the traditional fish in Primorye, it included a variety of dishes from shellfish.

If for the Far East this food is more or less familiar, for the inhabitants of the European part of Russia is a real exotic!

Fascinating gastrotours: where to go

And what is the future preparing us: where can we go on an interesting gastronomic tour in the near future?

The options are actually a lot, just a few of them.

In September-October in the Far East (in Khabarovsk and Vladivostok), the Taiga Festival is traditionally held. Here you can try real game - from raisin meat to wild boar cutlets and salad from eagle fern.

Interestingly, local restaurateurs set a fixed price for taiga sets, which is exactly 888 rubles. Given the exotic nature of the dishes, it looks inexpensive. Getting to the budget for the holiday will help subsidies for air travel and accommodation, on which Rostourism works.

However, you can find an interesting gastrotour closer, for example, in Tambov. It is here that the annual Tambov Potato Festival takes place in mid-October.

The highlight of the program is traditionally frying potatoes on a giant frying pan with a diameter of 2.5 meters, followed by a treat for tourists.

In addition to the traditional vegetable, visitors can treat themselves to local fruits, berries, pickles and take home a jar of real odorous honey.

Well, in winter you can go to the Crimea, where even in December there is a plus temperature and the annual gastronomic festival “Crimea on a plate” takes place (in 2020 it will be held from mid-November to mid-December, the single cost of gastrosets is 990 rubles).

In the off-season, the best Sevastopol chefs move away from mass cooking for vacationers, and work for the soul.

In addition to the traditional dishes of fish, meat and vegetables for the Crimea, you can taste the famous local wines and stunning desserts.

Despite the coronavirus and all sorts of crises, tourist life in Russia does not fade, and as for gastronomic tours, it is rapidly developing, beats the key and promises a lot of interesting things!
