In search of the Tree of Life - wine tour of Kakheti

Kakhetija is the region where wine with a history of 8000 years is born. A few years ago, a jug (Kvevri) was discovered in archaeological excavations in which Georgians have been making wine for thousands of years. The jar is dated to 6000 BC. it had seeds from grapes after fermentation. For thousands of years, nothing has changed, traditions and culture have become more and more durable and interesting. Our journey is to understand the ancient origins and traditions, to understand how ancient people treated the vineyard and what has come down to us, how this culture developed in different layers of society.

The first stop in Tsinandali is the estate of princes Chavchavadze and the first Georgian cellar, where prepared wine was bottled by the European method. The estate of the Chavchavadze family today is the house of the museum of Prince Alexander Chavchavadze and his descendant (the father of Nina Chavchavadze is the father-in-law of A. Griboyedov). We will be greeted by a beautiful botanical park planted by the prince himself, a winery, a story of beautiful love between Nina and Alexander, a tasting of Tsinandali wine from Prince A. Chavchavadze.

We will visit the enoteka of Prince Alexander Chavchavadze, the house-museum and taste the wines of this Chateau wish.
