The Young Wine Fest called «Carpathian Beaujolais» is traditionally held on the third weekend of November in Uzhgorod, the center of Zakarpatska region, Ukraine.

This Festival has become a special tradition of this old town − it is the 17th time that it gathers here the connoisseurs of young wine, as well as those who want to enjoy the bright and romantic autumn in Zakarpattia.

In 2010 the best Ukrainian winemakers will present their products of the season on November, 20- 21. During these two days the guests of the festival will have a splendid opportunity to taste up to 15 sorts of young wine, produced exceptionally from the classic European sorts of grape.

It is not only the fact that the tasting is free for everyone that excites the visitors of the Young Wine Festival − here you will also get an opportunity to learn from experienced wine-makers about the history and traditions of Carpathian winemaking, as well as about how to select the best wine and the centuries-old culture and etiquette of wine drinking. If you decide to help choosing the best wine-maker of the festival and take active part in voting, you can also get an elegant souvenir with the symbol of the Young Wine Fest.

Reikartz Hotels & Resorts cordially invite their guests to try the wonderful Carpathian wine, which carefully preserves the summer warmth and freshness of the ripe grape...
