Georgia is known as a cradle of wine. Most archaeologist believe that wine production began on the territory of Georgia more than 8 thousand years ago. Due to the so long history of wine in Georgian history, the traditions of its viticulture are entwined and inseparable with the country’s national identity.

Different shape, size and design wine vessels made from clay were discovered by Georgian archaeologists. The most impressive wine vessel is kvevri that is a giant clay vessel in which wine is fermented and stored up. Georgians used to dig kvevir into soil. Khelada, doki, sura, chinchila, deda-khelada, dzhami and marani are wine vessels used for drinking.

Many of the wine vessels discovered by the archaeologists were made from gold, silver and bronze. These artifacts dated back to the 3rd and 2nd millennia BC and bear chased imprints of the vine, grape clusters and leaves. Lots of sarcophagi with wine pitchers and ornamented wine cups, found in ancient tombs, are a proof that wine was nothing unusual for Georgians at all times. Based on these artifacts we dare say that viticulture is a pre-eminent theme in the long record of Georgian history.

Georgia ranks second among the countries of the former Soviet Union. Almost every family has its own vineyards and Georgian peasants still produce wine using the traditional Georgian technology.

About 400 vine species grow in Georgia but only 38 varieties are officially grown for commercial viticulture.

Due to these reasons, wine tours are most popular in Georgia. Wine tours in Georgia mean not only tasting good wines and delicious Georgian cuisine but learning about the country’s history and culture. During the tour visitors taste various Georgian wines, make traditional sweet – Churchkhela and visit ancient churches and castles. Also they enjoy Georgian folk songs that are included in the list of UNESCO immaterial heritage.

As a rule wine tours in Georgia include tasting of Georgian dishes. Georgian cuisine is very popular among the foreign tourists. During wine tours tourists participate in various activities such as rtveli (collecting of grape harvest), making of churchkhela that is a traditional Georgian sweet and baking of Georgian bread with the old technologies. Visit old enotecas and wine cellars is a part of wine tours, too. Besides, programs usually include wine factories where visitors can test various kinds of wine and visit a peasant’s wine cellar to attend the process of wine making with the traditional Georgian methods.

Since vine is an integral part of the Georgian culture and decorations such as vine leaves and grapes are used on the facades of the churches and monasteries, monuments of material heritage are listed in the program of wine tours. too. But immaterial heritage – Georgian folk songs and dances that are extremely popular is one of the basic component of these tours. Visitors enjoy the performances of folk ensembles.

Abastumani is a town and climatic spa in Samtskhe-Javakheti reion, Georgia; on the southern slopes of Meskheti Range in the canyon of river Otskhe. The town is about 200 km west to Tbilisi, capital of Georgia.

Abstumani is known as a health-resort and healing place for consumptive patients. The slopes of the range are covered with pine-trees, fir-trees, spruce. Winter is mild here and summer is not too hot. Temperate dryness and limpid air are typical for the settlement. The town is rich with thermal waters. Weakly-mineralized hot springs is used for the treatment of different disorders such as female disorder, nervous system, etc.

Under the rule of the Russian empire, a German colony was established there in 1842. 8 years later it was recolonized by the Russians. The new settlement acquired the name Abbas-Tuman after a nearby located village and became popular for its climate and thermal waters.

The development of the resort is chiefly associated with Prince George Alexnadrovich who was a member of the Russia Imperial Family. Due to his ill-health, the prince spent his life-time in Abastumani. Since the mid 2000s the tourism infrastructure has been renovated in the town.

Abstumani Astrophysical Observatory is located near Abastumani. The observatory researches the earth’s atmosphere, space and astronomy. The staff of the observatory is devoted to research different fields of astronomy and astrophysics, as well as atmospheric sciences.

Churchkhela is a traditional Georgian sweet dish that is an integral part of the country’s cuisine. Without Churchkhela New Year’s parties are unimaginable in Georgia. Churchkhela is a home-made product. Georgians usually make Churchkhela in Autumn when grape and nut is harvested since they are the main ingredients of Churchkhela.  It is a string of walnut halves that have been dipped in grape juice called Tatara or Phelamushi (grape juice thickened with flour) and dried in the sun.  Instead of walnuts sometimes nuts or almonds are used in the regions of west Georgia.

The shape of Churchkhela looks like a candle, some people say it looks like a sausage. Georgian warriors carried Churchkhelas with them because it contains calories enough for a man a day. The best Churchkhela is made in Kakheti region that is famous as the motherland of wine.
