After Dark - Georgia

Details

Georgia is often considered the birthplace of wine, with a winemaking tradition dating back over 8,000 years. Archaeological evidence shows that ancient Georgians were among the first to cultivate grapevines and develop wine production techniques. The country's unique climate and diverse grape varieties have allowed it to become a hub for rich, distinctive wines. Georgian winemaking is deeply intertwined with the culture, with ancient methods like fermenting wine in clay vessels called "qvevris" still used today. Over the centuries, Georgia has faced invasions and political upheaval, but its wine culture has remained resilient, making it a cornerstone of the country's heritage and a vital part of its national identity. They'll be exploring those centuries of knowledge and techniques common to the birthplace of wine! Think skin contact, qvevri, and over 500 indigenous grapes, it's going to be a wild night of wild wine and you won't want to miss it! $25.
