Georgia's winemaking tradition, in which wine ferments in clay vessels called qvevri, is recognised by UNESCO as intangible cultural heritage.

Kakheti

The eastern valley is the heart of wine country, with family cellars and monasteries among the vineyards.

The supra

A Georgian feast, led by a toastmaster, is one of travel's great hospitality rituals.
