Every autumn in Kakheti — Georgia’s premier wine region — a special time arrives: the vineyards come alive. The air fills with the sweet scent of ripe grapes, music, and festive cheer. Locals come together to celebrate Rtveli, one of the oldest and most beloved grape harvest traditions.
We invite you to be part of this magical celebration and join us on a journey into the world of Georgian winemaking. We’ll start the day with a tasting of Georgian wines and a hands-on class on Georgia’s iconic dish — khinkali!
Next, we’ll head out to the vineyards to pick juicy, sun-soaked grapes while enjoying breathtaking views of the Alazani Valley.
Once we’ve picked the grapes, we’ll stomp them in the satsnakheli — a traditional wooden press — just like people have for centuries. We might even start dancing — because Rtveli always comes with music!
At last, we’ll all sit down to celebrate the harvest!
Our feast’s star will be the Georgian tamada — the toastmaster who lights up the party. He’ll turn the celebration around the festive table into a fun and cozy gathering that brings everyone closer.
