Start a fascinating day trip to the Akkerman Fortress and Shabo Wine Culture Center from the hotel pick-up. Leave Odessa and relax during 2-hour drive to the city of Belgorod-Dnistrovsky, while your guide will tell you some interesting fact from the history of this city.

After arriving to one of the most ancient cities on the territory of Ukraine, you will visit its main attraction – Akkerman Fortress, built in the XII-XV centuries. This fortress is a well-preserved example of the medieval fortification architecture. You will explore the most ancient part of the fortress – the Citadel, with its towers and bastions and walk through the long galleries made of stone.

The beautiful territory of the complex also includes an underground wine storage with wine barrels, an elegant Dionysus Fountain and Grapevine Monument.

After tasting the best samples of Shabo wine, you’ll be able to buy some bottles of wine and souvenirs for your family and friends at the Shabo brand shop. Then, start your way back to Odessa and relax after such an informative and cheerful day.
