About this Event
Wine is not a new industry in Armenia. In fact, Armenia is home to the world’s oldest winery. But Armenia has much potential as a wine region. A mountainous country with high-altitude elevation, it is approximately 700-1,700 meters above sea level. It is a cool-climate growing region with rivers and wind. The soils are predominantly volcanic and rocky. In addition, Armenia has more than 400 indigenous varieties. Currently, 55 indigenous grapes are being used.
What you may not realize is that, thanks to the Ancient Greeks, grapes have been growing in Croatia since as early as the 5th Century BC. With such a long history of viticulture, there’s no surprise that Croatia is now taking center stage in wine production. Today, more than 130 native grape varieties call Croatia home, producing up to 700 wines annually. Winemakers often use their geographical location, mediterranean climate and sun-soaked position to their advantage, producing unique, bold wines.
Come taste some great wines from these ancient wine regions that are once again bursting with potential!
