The VinoGrad Themed Venu

Wine tourism emerges as an innovative and promising trend within the hospitality sector, serving as a rapidly expanding industry that allures investments and fosters regional growth. In recent years, wine and gastronomy tourism in our nation have elevated to new heights, experiencing continuous development.
Notably, experts predict that the advancement of wine tourism in Crimea and the Krasnodar Region could potentially augment the annual turnover of the domestic tourism industry by a substantial 3.4 billion roubles.
