In the traditional centers of viticulture and winemaking of Ukraine and outside of
them the wine tourism destinations are actively formed. Taking into account the macro-
and micro-zoning of the winemaking and wine-processing complex, geospatial
organization of tourist resources, the main areas of wine tourism in Ukraine are clearly
outlined:
- Transcarpathian region (Zakarpattia region);
- Odessa Black Sea region (Odessa region);
- Azov steppe region (Kherson, Mykolaiv, part of the Zaporozhye region);
- Kyiv, Lviv, Artemivsk, etc. can be considered local delineations of wine tourism
(Fig. 1).
We will analyze the highlighted regions of Ukraine in terms of resources and
infrastructure for wine tourism.
The history of winemaking on the territory of Ukraine began almost 2.5 thousands
years ago, it is interwoven with multinational historical traditions of winemaking,
experience of producers and modern achievements of scientists. Thus in those times
Ukraine gained a lot of knowledge about wine, winemaking and the culture of wine
consumption. Ukrainian wines are not as famous as those of world leaders, but their
taste and aroma can surprise even educated winemakers and titled sommelier. The most
expensive and best wines of Ukraine were traditionally made in the Crimea, but this
has changed because of the political situation.
