Tavria Brandy Factory

The largest cognac-producing plant is located in Nova Kakhovka — the Tavria plant. It supplies its products not only to the shelves of grocery stores in Ukraine, but also to countries of Western Europe, Belarus and Russia. This plant was founded by Franco-Swiss colonists — Yu. Maier and L. Hekhleh, and Zh. Zhaton. Having assessed the fertility of the soil, they tried to establish a winery here.
