Egypt is probably one of the last places you would expect to find a winery but nestled behind steel gate doors is a very respectable vineyard and bottling facility.
The whole way up to Alexandria, we asked ourselves, "What's the catch?" A free catered bus ride to Alex, an amazing buffet lunch, tour and tasting for free. There has to be some stipulation. But there was none. Sure, it would be nice if you picked up a few bottles of wine on the way out but there was no heavy soliciting.
The grounds were beautiful and the weather perfect. The vines were still barren but you can see all the work that goes into making wine- something you seldom think about when you grab the 3.99 bottles of wine of the shelves at Trader Joe's.
Pictures to come!
