I have been interested in history from my childhood. As I grew up, my interest turned into a hobby first, and then into a profession. I truly believe that the only way to do something well is to love it and put your heart into it. I love my country, its culture, people and history of all periods, both good and bad. I love to make connections between the old times and the present day life, because, would not you agree, that knowing the country is not just about reading a book on the history of Middle Ages? I like jokes and believe that a lot of hidden things can be seen through the humour of the country. Welcome to Estonia and its beautiful capital Tallinn! The most beautiful Old Town in northern Europe and the most successful of all former Soviet republics is waiting for you!

Overview of your Tallinn tour

Estonia was a part of Soviet Union for 48 years. One of the myths about USSR, that people drank nothing but vodka. True, that vodka was the most popular drink for the working class of people. However, upper classes of the society preferred something better like Armenian cognac and Georgian wine. For mass Communist party events, even a special kind of vodka was introduced and for special occasions, like New Year or a Birthday party, a sparkling Soviet champagne was absolutely necessary. Some of the Estonian drinks became a part of Soviet alcoholic tradition too, like Vana Tallinn liqueur. Please come, and try 5 of the most popular Soviet liquors. Our tasting is not just drinking but learning about history of the country, tastes and life of people. Tasting takes place in a great restaurant in the main square on the Old town
