The pride of writer Mikhail Bulgakov’s museum in Kyiv is a vineyard. Why so?
Because it grew big and lovely despite a hilly and rocky garden-bed in the author’s backyard. Inspired by the vineyard in Bulgakov’s “Master and Margarita,” it adds some authenticity to the place.
The Vineyard fest is surely something in Bulgakov’s eerie and unique style.
To the sound of a guitar, each guest will get a vine wreath. Then you’ll need to exchange your hryvnia for make-believe cash to buy your way into the museum itself, drink some Georgian wine and nibble on cheese and special parcels wrapped in vine leaves. Other options include tea with homemade pastry and jam along with a movie about Bulgakov’s museum.
To add enigma to the evening, there’s a wish room for all romantics out there. Flamenco dancers will entertain on a different floor. Without any special connection to the writer, they’ll be there for their own sake.
Keep in mind that Bulgakov’s money will expire by the end of the evening, so get rid of it before it’s too late.
