About

After touring the big three European wine producers in our classes (France, Italy, and Spain), we're ready to explore some of the birthplaces of wine, where winemaking traditions date back 10,000 years, pre-dating the invention of writing! Learn the history of wine in the ancient Mediterranean, as well as modern wine culture, and taste wines from countries such as Greece, Macedonia, Turkey, Lebanon, Slovenia, and the republic of Georgia. Get ready for an exciting journey back in time to visit some of the roots of human culture!

Learn about the ancient history of wine in the Mediterranean region and the role wine plays there in modern culture.
