Wine & Gourmand tours in Georgia
Georgia is unquestionably the birthplace of wine.
- Grape seeds have been found in Caucasian tombs 7000 years old, along with wine implements such as clay vessels.
- Indeed the word "wine" has been traced to our Georgian word g'vino, which has been in use for far longer than most modern languages have existed.
- Incredibly there are over 500 indigenous species of grape (most used for wine), most of them still completely unknown to the rest of the world.
At the same time, Due to the antiquity of the culture here it is hardly surprising Georgia has developed such a strikingly original cuisine.
