In Georgia, when we serve wine, we serve amazing stories from the past. Georgia has been always known for its centuries old wine making and thus the deliciously exquisite wine. In ancient days, when enemy armoured troops invaded the country they always made sure to target the beautiful vineyards first. 

Because they knew how important wine was for the country, both economically and spiritually. The relationship between Georgia and wine starts about 8000 years back, the relationship has only flourished, where the man and the green vineyards have been companions in making Georgia the cradle of wine.

This deep history and significance of tradition was recognized by UNESCO in 2015.

Wine is not just an alcoholic beverage for the country, it is a tradition, a long history of  respect, hospitality and love. Tradition, the word in Georgian context  means the technique of making Georgian wine, which means aging the wine in a Qvevri. However, the tradition does not start with a Qvevei, the tradition is the care of the vineyard, the relationship with the vine, the vintage, which is a great holiday for the Georgian nation. In our many years of history, we mean everything that the Georgian people have gone through since 8000 years ago. It was said that when a Georgian man went to war, he always carried one branch of a vine and wherever he died, the vine always rejoiced.

The history of Georgia is told exactly by the more than 525 varieties of vines that have been preserved in Georgia to this day. There is an attitude of Georgian men towards wine and vineyard in respect and relationship. A Georgian man will always take care of the vineyard to harvest good grapes. Take care not only of the grapes, but also of the wine itself, because wine is like a small child – it needs attention and care. It also grows over time, and if we take good care of it, of course the wine will be pleasant. You will understand what we mean by love only when you travel to Georgia. When you taste Georgian wine and get to know the Georgian people personally.
