5 Best Wineries In Georgia
Where to Find Georgia’s Best Local Wine?
The best wineries in Georgia are the perfect place to learn, explore and taste the local offerings. The wine region is focused in 4 main areas: Kakheti, Imereti, Kartli, and Racha. With a heritage of over 8000 years in wine making, make sure you try some traditional Qvervi, where wine is fermented and aged in large, clay vessels.
Georgian wines tend to be made from 6 main native grape varieties. Red wines include Saperavi, a full-bodied wine, and Kindzmarauli, a semi-sweet red. On the other hand, Mtsvane Kakhuri is a fruity, floral white wine, while Rkatsiteli is acidic and versatile. But, of course, taste is what really matters.
