About Georgia

Wine lovers rejoice! Georgian labels may not be lining your cellar, but the country is in fact considered the birthplace of wine. As far back as 8000 years ago, Georgians are said to have started producing wine, but in their own special way.

 

Today, UNESCO has included this ancient Georgian tradition of Qvevri winemaking on their Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity List.

Another of our favourite fun facts about Georgia is that it earns a spot amongst the world’s most ecologically diverse regions. The country’s 12 climate zones have spawned an incredible diversity of landscapes and wildlife.
