Itinerary:
We will leave Tbilisi in the morning and head to a cozy family winery in Kakheti. Upon arrival, we will meet our host. We will then head to the vineyards to start collecting grapes. The work is hard – grapes must be collected, and the juice must be squeezed out. In the past, winemakers and their families used to do that by stomping on the grapes with bare feet. Nowadays, machines are helping with processing the grapes. Once we are done with our work a time will come for the celebration with a a lovely homemade dinner made of traditional local dishes. Masterclass of Making Gergian food. Return to Tbilisi in the evening. The end of the tour.
