” A master is good when he is new, but wine and bread are good when they are old ” (Georgian proverb).
Georgia has its own name: Sakartvelo. Rtvelo, in Georgian, means the harvest season. What a beautiful tribute to the wine industry! The wine would have been born here. It occupies a fundamental place in the national culture. Since the Bronze Age, it has been at the center of the economic, cultural, social and religious life of the country. The etymology of the word wine comes from the word gvino, in Georgian. 100,000 hectares of vineyards throughout the country, 543 different grape varieties, 8,000 vintages. A thousand-year-old tradition, a unique terroir and grape varieties, a climate that favors mild winters and not too hot summers. Considering the excellence and diversity of Georgian wines, coming to Georgia without visiting a winery to taste it would be almost heretical. Russian tourists have understood this, and come in hordes to explore “the land of wine”.
