Georgia Culinary and Wine Tour Experiences
Georgian Wine and Culinary Adventure
Georgia is the birthplace of wine, with a winemaking tradition dating back 8,000 years. Using the unique Qvevri method, wine is fermented and aged in clay vessels buried in the earth, giving Georgian wines their organic, natural flavors. With more than 500 indigenous grape varieties and more than 55,000 hectares of vineyards, Georgia offers a truly unique wine culture.
From full-bodied Saperavi to aromatic Kisi and Tsolikauri whites, every sip tells a story of history, landscape and local passion.
Georgian cuisine is equally diverse and authentic, blending rich flavors, traditional spices and regional variations. Signature dishes include Khinkali (dumplings), khachapuri (cheese bread), Mtsvadi (barbecue), Eggplants with walnuts and Pkhali (vegetable and nut dishes), Chakapuli (Veal Stew) and Georgian sweet Churchkhela (grape and walnut sweets). Each region has its own culinary specialties, ensuring a full tasting experience that is as rich as Georgia’s history.

Can I combine Wine and Culinary in one tour?
Absolutely! While each of our tours already includes both wine and cuisine experiences, the main difference lies in the focus. Wine Tours place greater emphasis on wine regions, winemaking traditions, family cellars, and diverse tastings, while Culinary Tours highlight Georgian gastronomy, regional specialties, hands-on masterclasses, and rich food traditions.
For those who wish to combine both equally, we can create a specially designed tour that places balanced emphasis on both wine and cuisine. Our experienced managers will carefully plan a personalized itinerary based on your preferences.
