Rtveli Georgian Grape Harvest
Rtveli — the Georgian grape harvest — takes place across the Kakheti wine region (60km from Tbilisi) from September through October, offering immersive farm-stay experiences where visitors harvest Rkatsiteli and Saperavi grapes, tread them barefoot, and fill qvevri alongside winemaking families. This is less a festival and more a living cultural tradition — the harvest season is the most authentic way to experience Georgia's 8,000-year wine heritage.
