Wine is probably not the first thing that comes to mind when you think of Morocco. Many people are surprised to hear that there is a wine industry at all. Morocco has been producing wine for hundreds of years, since the days of the Phoenicians and Romans. When the French colonized Morocco, they discovered the possibility of Morocco being a wine country. The French developed Meknes, a Moroccan imperial city, into a wine region. In thinking about the geography, taking advantage of the country’s sunny, mild temperate climate, and high altitudes it makes a lot of sense. If you are a wine connoisseur planning a vacation to Morocco, explore the wine region that Morocco offers.
