A joint vacation with girlfriends – agree, it sounds like a dream? No way, because in reality this cool idea for some reason always turns into problems. Some of the girls are always in a work rush and can’t put things aside, others are afraid to leave their children and husbands unattended, and still, others are so mired in their dramas that they have forgotten how useful it is to relax in a purely female company.
However, if you stop looking for endless “buts”, everything will turn out to be much simpler than you think. After all, in essence, for an ideal trip, only a few components of happiness are enough: beloved girlfriends nearby, gentle sun, clean air, and a rich program. In fact, even the reason for your “sabbath” is not important: it can be timed to coincide with a bachelorette party a birthday, or the breakup with the boyfriend of one of your “besties”. A new chapter in life is already the best reason to properly celebrate this event in an all-female company!
Got the motivation? Then here’s a ready-made plan for a trip with friends to one of the most picturesque and warm regions of Russia – Krasnodar Krai. The Taman Peninsula is considered one of the best locations for an autumn holiday because summer here lasts until October.
This place can be called truly unique also because it is washed by two seas at once – the Azov and the Black, and is also famous for its hospitality, Cossack flavor and ancient monuments. Every stone on this land literally breathes history: it was here that the Scythian and Hun tribes once lived, the ancient Greeks built cities, and the Byzantines conducted active trade.
By the way, excursions to local attractions are not the only thing you and your girlfriends can do during a southern trip. There are even active mud volcanoes on the territory of the Taman Peninsula. You can arrange mud spa treatments in the fresh air of the world-famous Salt Lake. This place is especially loved by tourists because it contains even more salt than the Dead Sea.
We have voiced the main advantages of the location, and now we will tell you what exactly to do and how to plan your time so that your vacation on the Taman Peninsula will definitely be remembered for a lifetime!
Think of fashionable looks
Packing your suitcase for the trip is probably one of the most important stages of planning a vacation. Yes, each of you will definitely take with you the outfits that you have long wanted to wear, but there was no worthy reason for this. But it will be even cooler to take care of collective images for your girlfriends, in which you will get truly magical photos against the backdrop of the beauty of the southern region.
It is not necessary to copy each other’s looks – this will look more funny than stylish. It is better to combine outfits with bright accessories, one color scheme, or print. This way, each of the friends will be able to choose an outfit that will play up the advantages of her figure and skillfully hide all the flaws.
You can take a closer look at flowing dresses, skirts, straw hats, and Cossacks in the boho style. In such airy outfits, you will fit into the atmosphere of the picturesque southern region as much as possible. In addition, this is a great way to artificially extend the summer and recharge its energy for the long winter, because in the Krasnodar region, warm weather reigns until the very middle of autumn.

Rent a cool car
There will probably be a “road queen” in your company, or even more than one, so it is worth taking care of renting a car in advance, in which you will be able to move around the region beautifully and with the wind. This can be either just a roomy car, or a dream car, in which you will feel like real heroines of the series.
To increase the fun factor, plan out the music for the car ride in advance. Let everyone share their favorite songs, which you will combine into one playlist. The songs can be mixed and matched to suit your mood. That way, neither of you will feel left out.
Take a tour of a winery
The Taman Peninsula is famous for its still and sparkling wines, which have been produced here since the 4th century BC. The wine that reaches store shelves is produced here by three centers in the city of Temryuk and the villages of Starotitarovskaya and Taman, and the area of ​​vineyards is more than 9 thousand hectares. Therefore, visiting the Krasnodar Region and not seeing with your own eyes how wine is made would be a truly unfortunate omission.
You can learn about the rich history of the winery during a tour of the Classic Winemaking Center, where still and sparkling wines mature in ancient halls with a unique microclimate.
Here you and your friends will learn to understand its varieties, as well as learn about all the intricacies of fermentation and aging. Atmospheric photos from the underground galleries against the background of wine barrels are also guaranteed!
Play the Wine Jackpot
If a classic tour of the winery to get acquainted with the intricacies of this craft is not enough for you and your friends, you can continue it in a game form.
This is a great way to not only test your sense of smell and taste buds, but also just have a fun time with your girlfriends. Here you will learn how to open sparkling wine using the sabrage method, learn how to work in a team, and maybe even hit the jackpot and win the main prize!
Experience a gastronomic orgasm
As is well known, the best accompaniment to wine is delicious food. Therefore, think right away about which evening you and your girlfriends would like to gather for a luxurious dinner. You can do this in the gastro bar in the same Oenology Center, where the chef Anton Chesnokov is in charge of the kitchen. Legend has it that he has a professional talent for making the simple delicious and the complex understandable.
The concept of the establishment is based on three pillars: natural products, pure taste, and spectacular textures, and the menu includes a large number of dishes prepared from local farm products.
So, you can enjoy freshly caught Black Sea mussels or choose a duck leg confit with a light side dish of quinoa and spinach. The best “seasoning” for such a dinner will be only your gossip about everything and nothing, for which in the usual bustle you simply did not have time.
