10th Wine Festival Takes Place in Georgia
This year marks the 10th Anniversary since the foundation of the Wine Club, and the Festival, to be held on May 11 in Mtatsminda Park, is the 10th one.
All fans of the Georgian wine are welcome to this year's New Wine Festival in Mtatsminda Park again. On May 11, 11:00 - 18:00, large wine companies, medium and small winemakers of different regions of Georgia, along with family wine cellars, will be happy to offer the Festival guests their best wines of the last harvest (2018). The spirits will stay up even before the Festival date: the Club will have a special tasting dedicated to the double Anniversary on Saturday, May 4, 2009, where only 2009-2010 wines will be presented.
The perks of the New Wine Festival are diversity, discovery of new tastes and the opportunity to learn more about the wine we taste and appreciate, when meeting the winemakers in person.
The new Wine Festival 2019 will start with the traditional Qvevri opening ceremony, accompanied by the Georgian song Mravaljamieri. As a rule, the Qvevri features the best wine made in the family wine cellar, carefully selected by the Wine Club.
The Festival door is open for all guests. They will enjoy good music (The Nali Band, Rezo Kiknadze Jazz Band, Didgori), fun program, and a lottery with the opportunity to win gift barrels full of best wines.
