Georgian wines are
justly favored for its unique flavor, finest quality, and most importantly,
long viticulture history of over 8000 years. On this amazing tour, we’ll take
you to the aptly named 8000 Vintages - one of Downtown Tbilisi’s most popular
wine shops, allowing you to have a valuable understanding of Georgia’s rich and
traditional wine producing heritage.
In an undisturbed and
exceptionally inviting ambience, you’ll learn about the interesting facts as well
as anecdotes on the most prized wine varieties and how much they are integral
to Georgia’s culture. It’s particularly noteworthy for its extensive and
well-organized wine library, with each of its sections or shelves easily
recognizable as per the wine grape varieties. Featuring hundreds of wines made
by both small and large producers, its massive wine collection includes almost
all prominent regional wine varietals, from Amber and Kisi to Saperavi and
Mtsvane.
One of its set apart
characteristics is that it serves only those wines which are approved by the
specialists during the blind wine tasting session. Fascinatingly, out of more
than a thousand wines tasted here since its opening in 2016, only around 500
have been selected. Not to mention, this lets you taste the choicest and most
authentic Georgian wines on your visit here. Alongside the services of an
expert sommelier, this distinct gourmet experience comprises four glasses of
pure wine, paired with the perfect taste-enhancing accompaniments such as fresh
local Cheese and Ham.
