You Don't Dine
Without Wine.

A Georgian table without wine isn't a Georgian table. Come learn why — in the country that invented the whole tradition 8,000 years ago, and still makes wine the same way.

— Why wine, why here

Georgia didn't learn to make wine. Georgia taught the world.

8,000 years ago, in what's now the Shulaveri-Shomu region, someone buried a clay pot full of grape juice in the ground. The wine that came out of it was the first wine on Earth — at least, the first we have evidence for. That same technique, Qvevri winemaking, is now UNESCO-protected. It's still how the best wines in Kakheti are made today.

You'll taste wine from those Qvevri vessels. You'll eat lunch in the home of a family that has made them for four generations. You'll visit the palace of the duke who brought European winemaking to Georgia in the 19th century. You'll drive to Racha — the only valley on Earth where Khvanchkara grapes grow — and drink the semi-sweet red that was reportedly Stalin's favorite.

And yes — you'll dine. Constantly. With wine. As intended.

What every wine tour includes — no matter the length.
