14. the wine tasting

Blog entries
the tower of Saint Rudolph's Church in Banostor, next to the Quet winery
Part of the attraction of the Fruska Gore region is, or so claims the tourist information centre, the local wine. Which is why they have established no less than six wine routes. We like wine a lot, but we are not going to do six wine routes. Instead, my travel companion had selected a few [...]

the Ixsir winery

Blog entries
Having tasted several Syrian wines during a weeklong trip there, the return to Lebanon was a welcome change, if only for the quality of the wine. And there are worse places to experience this than in the Ixsir winery, a relatively new winehouse which, unlike many other Lebanese wineries, is not based in the Beekaa [...]

10. the factory

Blog entries
Even Syria produces wine, and why not? Lebanon does, quite nicely, and after all some 10 percent of the Syrian population used to be Christian. Besides, quite a few of the Muslims don’t seem to have a problem with drinking alcohol here, either. We visit the Kefraya winery (in order not to be confused with [...]

24. Sabile

Blog entries, Locations
Sabile is home to the Pedvāle Art Park. This sculpture garden was founded by Ojars Feldbergs, a Latvian sculptor, who not only sculpts, but also arranges symposiums and workshops where other sculpturers from all over the world sculpt – and their collective production is being exhibited in the garden. I suppose there are few individual [...]

25. the Arpa Valley

Blog entries, Locations
The Arpa Valley is one of the main wine growing areas of Armenia, and that needs to be sampled, of course. With varying results. So far we have tried various Armenian wines, with various success. Our favourite is the Karas, either the red blend or the white blend, although other brands, like Takar and Frunzik, [...]

42. Villany

Blog entries, Locations
We visit Villany, Hungary’s prime wine areas, and do the things you do in such areas. Although we have not been very impressed by Hungarian wine so far, we cannot leave this country without having visited its most promising wine area – for us, at least, appreciating the dry wine varieties over the sweet wines [...]

20. Telavi (2)

Blog entries
The real reason to spend time in Telavi is, of course, to sample the wines of Georgia's most famous wine region. Which we did.

16. the winery

Blog entries
We get our first introduction in Georgian wine, a somewhat mixed experience, but made good by some excellent wines.

39. Ica

Blog entries
The Ica valley is the most prolific wine area in Peru, but that doesn't mean much.

07. the wineries

Blog entries
Unexpectedly, we find a number of young wineries in the Sierras de Cordoba, although many of them may still have some way to go to maturity; enthusiasm compensates.
