Tour Summary

Step beneath the streets of Tbilisi and travel back in time to the 17th century. Hidden below the level of the Mtkvari River lies "Karvasla"—an underground city where Georgia's newly opened Wine Museum now reveals the secrets of 8,000 years of winemaking history.

This intimate 1–2 hour journey takes you deep into the archaeological wonders that prove Georgia is the birthplace of wine. Walk through ancient halls preserved beneath the city, where clay vessels older than writing itself tell the story of humanity's first sips. Discover artifacts that predate the Iron Age by five millennia, from ritual ceramics to the iconic Qvevri—the traditional Georgian vessel still used today.

Your journey concludes with a guided tasting of three distinct Georgian wines, allowing you to taste the living legacy of this ancient land.

This is not just a museum visit. It is a pilgrimage to the source of wine itself.
