In wine lies truth…
Wine has been cultivated and drunk since the 6th millennium BC. Today’s Georgia and Armenia are considered to be the places of origin for wine cultivation. And even in ancient Greece and Rome, the gods of wine were worshiped. A glass of wine a day is even said to prolong our lives. We’ve compiled the best wine tasting spots for you to explore with your TripMates and enjoy a glass or two of the drink of the gods. Find your like-minded wine lovers on JoinMyTrip!
