Yalta’s Exquisite Massandra Winery
Located outside the town of Massandra near Yalta in Crimea, Ukraine’s oldest winery has been producing superb wines for over 100 years. The subtropical climates of the region together with the protective shield formed by the surrounding mountains create perfect conditions for grape cultivation. Add to this the expertise of Massandra Winery’s wine-makers and the ingeniously crafted cellars in which the wines mature, and it becomes clear why the fortified and dessert wines produced at this historic winery have earned international acclaim.
