About tour :

Georgia is considered to be one of the oldest wine regions all over the globe. Georgia is the birthplace of wine, since wine on the territory of the country was producing about 8000 years ago.  Moreover, in Georgia about 500 grape varieties used to be cultivated. Georgian Traditional and unique wine-making process involves pressing the grapes and then pouring the juice, grape skins, stalks and pips into the Qvevri, which is the huge egg shaped clay vessel sealed and buried in the ground.  Wine is fermenting and maturing for five to six months. Unlike the European wine-making tradition in Georgia grape juice and grapes itself are kept together for some time before their separation. It gives Georgian wine its particular bouquet, strength and tannin. Georgian ancient way of wine fermentation got in UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage list.
