Join us for a cultural adventure as we sample wine and cuisine from the country of Georgia.

We explore the primary wine country of Eastern Europe, believed by many archaeologists to be the source of the world's first cultivated grapevines as much as 7000 years ago. At the event we taste six Georgian wines paired with a selection of authentic Georgian cuisine. We add Georgian music, some interesting local trivia and a photography exhibit featuring the region for a unique cultural experience.
