"ShaboWine CultureCenter" is located in the resort area of Odessa region, in the
south of Ukraine, where the traditions of viticulture originate from ancient times.
This is the only complex in Ukraine located directly on the territory of the
operating winemaking enterprise that combines modern high-tech production and
unique cultural and historical objects.
Shabo is an ancient wine region where grapes have been grown since ancient
times. The mild climate, warm steppe air, sandy soil, unique microclimate due to the
proximity of the Black Sea and the Dniester Liman create exceptionally favorable
conditions for the cultivation and maturation of grapes. The area is on a "grape latitude"
(46-47° north latitude), in the same parallel as the most famous wine regions of France,
Bordeaux and Burgundy.
