Cheese & Wine Holiday
Why wine and cheese in Lviv? There exists a documental evidence of vine-growing in Lviv Region already in the 17th century AD. Lviv climate was much warmer at that time so Southern hills of the High Castle, Lychakiv district, Keizerwald hills and Vynnyky suburbs have been covered with vineyards producing more than one hundred barrels of wine annually.
Monks and monasteries of the Roman Catholic Church have also had an important influence on the history of the regional wine. Living in a big trade centre, Lviv citizens very well knew and appreciated refined Greek, Italian, Spanish, Hungarian wines as well.
What’s the best to be served with good wine? Cheese, of course. Being real gourmands Lviv citizens borrowed traditions of cheese making from the neighbouring countries. So, the words “cheese” and “wine” started to be used together in Lviv in the Middle Ages!
Cheese & Wine Holiday is a fantastic opportunity to learn Ukrainian traditions, to taste good wines and cheese in the open air, to visit fairs and folklore concerts, to enjoy animations and different competitions.
Lviv awaits real gourmands!
