Georgia’s history of winemaking and viticulture, the diversity of grape varieties, the unique wine production technology, and the traditional method of making wine in qvevri — which UNESCO granted the status of Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2013 — form the foundation for the development of wine tourism in the country.

    At the Vocational Education Center of Tbilisi State University, a public lecture titled “Non-Traditional Methods of Wine Aging – A New Experience for Wine Tourists” was held for vocational students.

    The Deputy Head of the Center, Dr. of Tourism Inesa Vatsadze, spoke about non-traditional methods of wine aging and their adoption, which can bring economic benefits to the winemaking industry and help attract tourists interested in wine tourism to the country.

    The public lecture was held within the framework of the project “Let’s Learn, Make Friends, and Discover Georgia – Extracurricular Activities for a Sustainable Future”, implemented with the funding of the Vocational Skills Agency.
