Wine trails

10 stops · 1-2 weeks Kakheti Wine Route Kakheti is where wine began. Archaeological evidence from Gadachrili Gora (6000 BC) makes this the oldest wine-producing region on Earth. Here, wine isn't fermented in barrels - it's born in qvevri, giant clay vessels buried in the earth, a method unchanged for millennia and protected by UNESCO. 9 stops · 1-2 weeks Imereti Wine Route Imereti produces Georgia's most distinctive wines. Unlike Kakheti's amber wines with extended skin contact, Imeretian winemakers use shorter maceration and different qvevri shapes. The result is lighter, more aromatic wines from grapes like Tsitska and Tsolikouri. 8 stops · 1-2 weeks Kartli Wine Route Kartli, the historic heart of Georgia surrounding Tbilisi, offers a different wine experience than Kakheti. The region is known for its crisp white Chinuri and the rare Tavkveri rosé. Visit ancient cave cities, Stalin's birthplace, and family cellars where qvevri have been buried for generations. 8 stops · 1-2 weeks Racha Wine Route High in the Caucasus mountains, Racha produces Georgia's most prized wine: Khvanchkara, a naturally semi-sweet red that was Stalin's favorite. The steep slopes and cool climate create wines impossible to replicate elsewhere. This is off-the-beaten-path Georgia at its finest. 7 stops · 1 week Kakheti Qvevri Wine Trail 6 stops · 4 days Royal Champagne Road: Chapter IX - Freedom Bubbles November 9, 1989: West Germans waited at the Brandenburg Gate with flowers and champagne. At 9:03 PM, the first person climbed the wall. "Complete strangers fell into each other's arms." February 11, 1990: After 46 months of protest outside the South African Embassy, Mandela was released - a champagne cork nearly hit Tony Benn. This chapter traces freedom through bubbles: Berlin's Wall, Mandela's release, Wimbledon's 150,000 glasses, Henley's Pimm's and champagne, and the Channel Tunnel that ended Britain's island isolation. 5 stops · 1 week Kartli Mountain Wine Trail 5 stops · 1 week Kazbegi Heights Wine Trail 4 stops · 2 days Georgia's 8000-Year Wine Cradle Journey to where wine began. Taste qvevri wines from clay vessels buried since the Bronze Age, feast at supras, and discover varieties unknown to the West.
