New Wine Festival Tbilisi (Akhali Ghvino)
Georgia's largest single-day wine festival brings together 168 natural winemakers at Mtatsminda Park above Tbilisi each May for the ceremonial uncorking of the new harvest wines. Georgia invented winemaking 8,000 years ago and the qvevri (clay amphora) method is UNESCO-listed; this festival is the best introduction to these traditions. Entry is free, wines are sold by the glass, and the mountain park setting with views over Tbilisi is spectacular.
