Transcarpathia has long been famous for its winemaking — the traditions of this region date back almost 2,000 years. The climate of the region is extremely favourable for viticulture, as the Carpathian Mountains protect it from the Arctic air masses coming from the north. Local families have been engaged in this business for years: there can be up to 40 wine cellars on one street.

Today, Transcarpathia is developing wine tourism, offering a unique experience of tasting authentic Ukrainian wines in picturesque locations.

Which wineries are worth visiting and where to try the best Transcarpathian wines — we will tell you more in this article.

Berehove: a classic of Transcarpathian winemaking

Chateau Chizay is the most famous winery in Berehove, managing 272 hectares of vineyards and producing high-quality wines. The winery works with white and red European varieties: Traminer Rosé, Riesling Rhine, Muscat Ottonel, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Blanc.

Once upon a time, the most famous wine producer in Transcarpathia was the Berehove Winery, which produced more than 10 varieties of wine, and its calling card was ‘Rose of Transcarpathia’. The traditions of Berehove winemaking live on today.

Where to try: Berehove wine tastings are included in the tours ‘Cheese and Wine Tour of Transcarpathia’ and ‘10 Highlights of Transcarpathia’ from Visit Ukraine.
