The Journey
Iter Vitis ("wine routes" in Latin) celebrates Europe's wine heritage - viticulture, winemaking traditions, vineyard landscapes, and wine culture developed over millennia.
The route connects historic wine regions from Portugal to Georgia, including Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne, Tuscany, Rioja, the Rhine Valley, and many others. Sites include vineyards, wine cellars, museums, historic wine estates, and wine festivals.
Wine heritage encompasses agricultural techniques, architecture (wine cellars, châteaux), cultural practices (harvest festivals, wine rituals), and the role of wine in European civilization. Many vineyard landscapes are UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
