Georgian wine-cellar - Marani
Georgians have been making the best wines over 8000 years. The wine is so precious for them that like a living creature they
built a house for it – Marani, buried Qvevri (clay jars) under the ground and
implemented the unique method of making wine, which made Georgian wine famous
worldwide (Georgian wine is on a list of UNESCO Intangible Heritage). After
squeezing the grapes unlike European methods, Georgians keep grape juice and
skins together in a huge Qvevri under the ground.
Georgian farmer would
proudly show you the way into his wine-cellar, open the Qvevri, give his
home-made wine to taste and toast you cordially. Who would miss such an
experience?
You can taste best quality
wines made according to traditional and European methods. This country is
rightly referred as a cradle of wine.

Great wine, delicious and diverse food, toasts, multi-voice songs– this is when you find yourself at Georgian feast. It’s an ancient tradition
that Georgian still follow. This isn’t just a meal, this is more of a ritual
which is led by a Tamada (toast master).

Georgian folklore
has been shaping out for many centuries. You’ll be amazed by Georgian dances, which are wondrously diverse
and represent all provinces of Georgia. This is the synthesis of delicate
movements, stories told in dance and blazing knacks. Georgian multi-voice
singing is on UNESCO Intangible World Heritage list. One of the outstanding
examples “Chakrulo” was sent to the space with Voyager in 1977 among the 27
musical compositions of the world. The Golden records should introduce the
earth to the other civilizations.
