About the workshop

Where the earth preserves the wine, and time preserves tradition.

The first official presentation of Georgian wine in our country — from a land considered the cradle of wine.

Wine has been made there for 8,000 years, and many traditional production methods and wine styles have been preserved and are still practised today.

Our colleague, sommelier Ramazi Inaishvili, will guide this journey through the mystical wine landscapes of Georgia.

In the theoretical part, we will explore Georgia's wine regions, different terroirs, climatic conditions and some indigenous grape varieties, followed by a tasting of six wines made from different Georgian varieties in distinctive wine styles.

In the second part, he will be joined by well-known local oenologist Kristina Angjelkova, who will share her experience of using the distinctive clay vessels known as qvevri, which are also used in the production of some Macedonian wines.
