Cheese and wine are the gastronomic pearls of Transcarpathia

What is Transcarpathia famous for? Definitely cheese and wine. You can explore the Carpathians, castles, wine and cheese during the "Cheese and wine tour of Transcarpathia".

Currently, there are more than 100 Carpathian buffaloes on the farm, which you can observe, as well as taste and buy different varieties of buffalo and sheep cheese. The surroundings of Berehova have long been famous throughout the world for their wines, which have a wonderful aroma and a great wealth of taste properties.
