Description
Your trip begins with an early departure from Tbilisi, heading to the lush Kakheti region, the heart of Georgia travel. Upon arrival at a carefully selected family winery, you'll participate in the grape harvest, diving deep into the private tour experience. Learn about the unique grape varieties that thrive in this fertile land.
Post-harvest, engage in the ancient technique of qvevri winemaking. These large, earthenware vessels are buried underground where the wine ferments and matures, developing its distinctive character. This immersive experience allows you to assist in the process, from grape stomping to sealing the qvevri.
As the day evolves, prepare for the supra — a feast that is as much about community as it is about cuisine. Under the guidance of your hosts, help cook traditional dishes that you'll later enjoy, such as khinkali and mtsvadi (Georgian barbecue). The meal is accompanied by stories, toasts, and songs, making for a truly enriching Georgian experience.
The day concludes with a return to Tbilisi, hearts and bellies full, carrying memories of a day spent in the warm embrace of Georgian hospitality. This travel experience offers a participatory and intimate look into the cultural heritage of Georgian winemaking.
