KVINT Distillery Tour & Tasting

KVINT (Kvasnye Vina Transnistrii) has been distilling brandy in Tiraspol since 1897 — older than the Soviet Union that later made it a state enterprise, and still the region’s best-known export today. The tour walks through the working distillery and cellars, finishing with a guided tasting.

What the tour includes

• A walk through the production floor and barrel cellars — 25,000 barrels currently aging on site
• The history of the distillery, from Imperial Russia through the Soviet period to today
• A guided tasting of KVINT’s brandy and wine range

Why it’s worth the stop

KVINT brandy has been served at international summits and carries genuine reputation beyond the region — this isn’t a tourist-trap tasting room, it’s a working distillery that happens to also host visitors.
