Enjoy the best wine tasting tours in Georgia
What makes Georgian wine so attractive to people from all over the world
Georgia has always been associated with wine because grapevine has been grown in the valleys of this beautiful country since ancient times. With more than 500 kinds of grapes and the fist cultivated grapevines in the world, the viticulture traditions have entwined with the national identity of the country. The archeologists found old wine presses proving that viticulture had been practiced on the territory of Georgia since the 5th century BC.
Georgians have their own method of making wine. They make it in a stone press and store in a clay amphora which is sunk in the ground. Many people still have wine cellars, presses, and underground jars in their houses. Unlike Europeans, Georgians do not separate juice from grapes after pressing. They keep grapes and juice together for some time and then separate it. For this reason, Georgian wine is stronger, and it has a special flavor. No wonder, that wine enthusiasts from all over the world like to go on Georgia wine tasting tours. Moreover, Georgians are known for their exceptional hospitality.
