On July 10, 1973, The Bahamas became a free and sovereign country, ending 325 years of peaceful British rule. However, The Bahamas is a member of the Commonwealth of Nations and we celebrate July 10th as Bahamian Independence Day.
When people think about The Bahamas, chances are they’re picturing miles of powdery white sand beaches, sparkling turquoise waters, palm trees, and endless fun in the sun. If you love wine, a tour of Graycliff’s wine cellar is a must! With more than 250,000 bottles from 400 winemakers in 15 countries, the Graycliff collection includes some of the rarest, most expensive wines in the world, such as an 1865 Chateau Lafite and a 1727 Rudesheimer Apostelwein from Bremen Ratskeller. It also features many of today’s most popular varieties – and with a quarter million bottles to choose from, there’s a perfect wine for every palate and occasion.
