Vineyards, where grapes are grown, can now be found all over the world now, where formerly they were mainly grown in Europe.
Vineyards make use of land not suitable for other farming, so hilly and mountainous areas are often home to vineyards.
Vineyards date back to around 6000 BC, with early wine production, but were really developed under the Catholic church in the Middle Ages. Nowadays, whether you are in Argentina, Southern Africa, California or Europe, you will find vineyards. Picturesque scenery, winery tours and wine tasting are only a few reasons to visit a local vineyard.
