When planning a trip and exploring a new destination, you always want to try something local. Focusing on local products is about a deeper understanding of the locals' culture, habits and lives. It is the history and traditions of the area.
It is very encouraging that we are now beginning to appreciate products made in Ukraine more. It's about trusting the local community and supporting the local economy, which is essential in the wartime and post-war recovery.
Ukrainian wine is one of the most actively growing local products. The history of Ukrainian winemaking dates back to antiquity. Our lands are rich in vineyards and talented people who can create incredible and quality products. From family-owned craft producers to large-scale and well-known brands that experiment with wine styles and grape sorts and win more and more awards at international competitions and tastings.
