Kakheti Wine Region
Home to the earliest wine-drinking civilization known to mankind, Georgia is home to over 524 unique species of grapes. For connoisseurs, a visit to the Kakheti region will reveal new insights into the world of wine appreciation.
With over 8,000 years of grape-harvesting history, Georgia's ancient Qvevri wine-making technique is recognized as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage. Award-winning wines made from both Qvevri and classic European techniques can be sampled along the tunnel wineries. Its most famous produce, Saperavi, is brisk with acidity and deep fruit aromas for the making of vintage red wines. White wine enthusiasts will appreciate Rkatsiteli, offering a crisp green apple taste with a white peach hint.
