Qvevri Opening Ceremony – A Hidden Georgian Wine Ritual

Step into a centuries-old tradition and witness the moment when wine meets the world.

In the heart of Kakheti, where wine has been made for over 8,000 years, we invite you to a rare and authentic experience — the opening of a traditional Georgian qvevri.

Buried deep in the earth, the qvevri has been quietly transforming grapes into wine through the winter. Now, the moment has come.

You will be among the first to witness the opening of the clay vessel, taste the wine directly from the source, and experience a ritual that has remained unchanged for generations.

This is not a show. This is how we live.

What You Will Experience

• ✔ Authentic qvevri opening ceremony
• ✔ Tasting wine directly from the vessel
• ✔ Guided tasting of 3–4 wines and chacha
• ✔ Traditional Kakhetian lunch
