Georgia is sometimes called the "cradle of winemaking." And it's not without reason: this delightful sunlit country is one of the oldest centers of winemaking culture, as evidenced by various archaeological finds. 🍷

According to archaeologists, the history of winemaking in Georgia dates back around 8000 years. Thanks to its diverse and unique microclimate, Georgia is home to around 500 grape varieties. 🍇

🏺 During excavations in the country, ancient clay vessels called "qvevri" were discovered, containing grape seeds and skins, indicating that the peoples living in these lands had knowledge of cultivating grape varieties and winemaking even before our era.
