Sundown Wine Tasting at a Vineyard
Spend your evening learning about and tasting a variety of delicious Ukrainian wines directly at the vineyard. Relax under the evening sky as you savour the nuanced flavours of each wine and enjoy a beautiful sunset together. Bring a picnic blanket and watch the stars come out as you spend a tranquโฆ
- You and your partner arrive just as the sun is beginning to set, casting a golden glow over the vineyard. The vineyard owner leads you to a table with an array of wines and begins your guided tasting, explaining the different grape varietals and terroirs of Ukraine. You both try each wine and discuss the flavors with each other.
- As the sun sets and the stars make their appearance, you lay out your picnic blanket and sit together, enjoying the stillness of the night punctuated only by the sounds of nature and your shared laughter and conversation.
- The evening ends with a toast to a beautiful date, a memory forged in wine and stars, before you return home, hand in hand, under the starlit Ukraine sky.
Preparation steps:
- Plan your trip to the vineyard in advance by checking their wine tasting schedule and charges. Make sure the vineyard you choose is open to visitors in the evening. Pack a picnic blanket and a bottle opener in case they're needed.
- Ensure you dress appropriately for the weather, and don't forget to bring jackets or blankets if it's expected to get chilly in the night. Make sure one of you is sober enough to drive back or arrange for transportation if you plan to drink a fair amount.
- The date doesn't have to end with the wine tasting. You can extend it by planning a midnight picnic or a walk around the vineyard under the starry night sky, if permitted.
Some tips:
- Pick a vineyard with a good reputation not only for the quality of its wine but also for its hospitality to ensure you have a pleasant wine tasting experience.
- Remember to consume alcohol in moderation to make sure both of you can enjoy and remember the date. If you're planning to drink more, remember to arrange your transport to ensure safety.
- If it's your first time wine tasting, don't hesitate to ask questions during the tasting - wine connoisseurs love sharing their knowledge and it's a great way to learn something new together.
