Wine production in Malta dates back over two thousand years to the Roman era, but in the past Maltese wines had a bad reputation, and the majority of the grapes were consumed as food. In the beginning of the 20th century Emmanuel Delicata and Marsovin wineries were established. In the 1970s wine production became more serious and international grape varieties started to get planted.
In Malta Easter has been the focus of great festivities, in the churches which have been beautifully decorated, as well as the family observances.
Food in Malta may not rank as gourmet cuisine, but it is very reasonably priced and there are plenty of places to choose from.
