Gurjaani Wine Festival and Wine Tourism in Georgia
The Gurjaani Wine Festival is also connected to the broader development of wine tourism in Georgia, offering visitors an opportunity to experience Georgian wine culture beyond a traditional wine tasting.
The festival aims to support the development and promotion of Georgian wine, including qvevri wine, as well as wines with protected designations of origin. It also contributes to the development of wine tourism and the promotion of Georgia’s winemaking traditions.
Qvevri winemaking is recognized by UNESCO as Intangible Cultural Heritage
