Rtveli Harvest Festival
Rtveli has been continuous for 8,000 years. Machines break the stems — human feet know the difference. That's the engineering reason barefoot stomping in a satsnakheli persists. When the tamada raises a toast to ancestors, the entire table goes quiet for your lost person too, foreigner or not. Churchkhela — walnuts dipped in grape must, hung to dry — is made once a year during harvest because the must is only available fresh. The qvevri visible in 6000 BCE Neolithic pottery is virtually identical to the vessel you're about to drink from. September through October, families across Kakheti open their doors.
