From the underground labyrinth of wine cellars to the rich history and craftsmanship behind every bottle, it was such an eye-opening look at one of the world’s most unique wineries. Who knew wine could be stored in a 120-kilometer network of limestone tunnels?

Perfect pairing: comfy armchair, good company, and a glass of red. Cheers to discovering new corners of the world—one documentary at a time! 🍇🥂
