«Chabot Wine Culture Center» is a unique tourist object on the territory of the operating winery complex. This is the only cultural center in Ukraine, which combines the operating high-tech enterprise, ancient wine cellars, tasting room, expositions of modern sculptural and architectural art, as well as a unique Museum of Wine and Winemaking. The highlight of the «Chabot Wine Culture Center» is the Museum Labyrinth.
The entrance portal of the museum is «built» on five columns, each of which symbolizes a certain era. The first column is made in the form of kvevri — Georgian clay vessel for wine. 
It is a reminder that Georgia, according to many researchers, was the ancestral home of cultural winemaking. The second column is Ionic in shape and represents the era of Tyre, an ancient Greek colony that flourished on the banks of the Dniester for more than 2,500 years. The third indicates the era of the Turkish sultans’ domination of the Akkerman fortress. The fourth wooden column (in the form of a spiral of a grape press) recalls the Swiss winemakers who founded a wine colony in Shabo almost two hundred years ago. Finally, the fifth column, tiled, symbolizes the Soviet era. There is no column of the current period on the entrance portal of the museum, but the whole «Chabot Wine Culture Center» is the embodiment of the modern era of Ukrainian winemaking.
The tour of the museum begins with a visit to the cinema hall. Louis Tardan, the first mayor of the Swiss wine colony of Chabag, greets the guests from the screen. From his mouth, the audience learns about the most important stages in the development of the Chabag terroir.
Imagine that you have turned the wheel of history back 2500 years and found yourself in one of the courtyards of Tyra on the banks of the Dniester. In the antique andron a feast is staged, in the center there is a vessel for mixing wine (crater), men recline on beds. In the Museum Labyrinth you will learn why the ancient Greeks began to prune the vine. A donkey knows the answer to this question. If you come to Chabot, he will be sure to share this information with you.
Afterward, guests are invited to the Turkish Hall. Here is a model of the 1820 Akkerman fortress — with fruit trees, vineyards and thatch-roofed houses. The Turks called the area near the Dniester estuary «Asha-Abag», which means «lower gardens». At that time vineyards were called gardens, and they were lower because they were located below Akkerman. In Asha-Abag grew a special grape Telti Kuruk, which means «fox tail» in Turkish: the shape of a bunch of grapes looks like the tail of a fox. Telti Kuruk is an autochthonous grape variety that today grows almost exclusively in Chabot. It is from this grape that the first Shabo wine in Ukraine was created.
And here, finally, the guests are in the Swiss room. On a large map they see how the path of the settlers — from Lake Geneva to the Dniester estuary. On July 19, 1822, led by Louis Tardan, the first colonists left their homeland (the canton of Vaud, the town of Veuve). In the museum’s five-meter showcase there is a model of their wagon, which is made with remarkable accuracy, down to the portrait resemblance of the heroes. In the hall of the Museum Labyrinth you can hear horses neighing, wheels squeaking and the voices of the colonists. Everything is just like during their journey. A total of 30 French-speaking Swiss traveled in cabins. Their journey was thorny, full of hardships and adventures. They left in the summer and arrived in Chabot only in late fall.
This long journey — 2500 km long — was the beginning of the birth of European cultural winemaking in Chabot. But that’s another story…
