What is the first thing that comes to mind when thinking about wine?, Chile, Argentina, Spain, France, Portugal, Uruguay and South Africa even among many others, what is safe (and a bit sad) is that they never think of Venezuela as a wine producer, because in our country !!!!, wines produced in small quantities but enough to feed the curious people, plus we have broths very good quality.
Many wonder that, as in a tropical climate so you can make good wines, I reply that thanks to such advanced technology we have more and more opportunity to learn about wines as exotic and different as here. To know a little about the history of wine in our country are the following:
