Awash Winery Visit & Tasting
Visit Africa most unexpected winery, now part-owned by Bob Geldof (yes, Live Aid Bob Geldof). Originally founded by Italians in 1943, nationalized in 1974, and privatized in 2012 when Geldof 8 Mile equity firm bought in. They produce 10 million bottles annually. Taste Axumit Sweet Red - Ethiopia most popular wine, named after the ancient Axumite kingdom. The volcanic soil at 1,600m creates minerality you cannot find anywhere else on Earth.
