"Ancient Greek colony (720 BC) infamous for its hedonism and wild feasts—modern wine tourism now celebrates the same luxurious spirit in rural Calabria, where the Sybarites once roofed roads to keep wine cool."

    Sybaris Archaeological Site

    Sybaris was so famously wealthy and pleasure-loving that "sybarite" still means luxury seeker. The city's wine cellars were legendarily stocked, and citizens were said to have invented heated baths and the chamber pot. Destroyed by neighboring Croton in 510 BC, the ruins are now partly underwater.
