Georgian Wine Tour at Home
Taste the delights of the Georgia wine route from the comfort of your home! A DIY Georgian wine tour at home not only satisfies your inner foodie soul but also brings in the charm of experiencing the rich Georgian viticulture without breaking the budget. Enjoy the experience and allow the nectar of…
- The evening begins with the creation of the ambiance. You and your partner turn your living space into your very own Georgian tasting room - think dimmed lights, romantic music, and a neat display of your wine samples. Next, the educational component kicks off as you together explore fun facts about Georgian wine, the wine regions, and their history. You'll taste each wine, just like at a vineyard, taking turns describing flavors and nuances, all the while imagining yourselves traversing the lush valleys of Kakheti.
- As you move with the wine tasting, take a moment to pair each wine with a homemade snack - perhaps some warm khachapuri (Georgian cheese bread, if available) with a glass of Tsinandali or some ripe cheese with Saperavi. Remember, the goal is to capture the essence of Georgia, to toast to love, togetherness, and new experiences.
- The night rounds off with a virtual tour of beautiful Tbilisi, enjoying the city's panorama, ancient architecture, and vibrant lifestyle. You can exchange what you loved the most about the date, the wine, or the Georgian culture making it a night to remember.
Preparation steps:
- Take a few days ahead to prepare for this date. The first step will be to do your research on Georgian wines. You might not be able to find all of them at your local supermarket, so you might have to order them online. Search for wines like Tsinandali, Saperavi, and Kindzmarauli. Remember, this is a budget-friendly date so no need to go for the most expensive ones.
- Once you've obtained the wines, focus on setting up your tasting room. You’ll need wine glasses, a jug of water to cleanse your palate between different wines, and a bucket if you decide to spit out the wine after tasting. It’s not mandatory to spit out the wine though. Setup your phone or laptop for the virtual tour of Tbilisi. You can use 'Google Street View' or any other platform you'd prefer.
- Finally, pick out some matching snacks if possible, such as cheese or khachapuri. The day of the date, make sure to chill white wine and leave the red wine at room temperature. Just remember, the secret to success is in the planning, so put a bit of time into getting everything prepared.

Some tips:
- To make the most of your home wine-tasting experience, start with lighter wines before moving onto the darker, more full-bodied varieties. This will ensure your palate isn't overwhelmed too early. Use the tab 'Street View' on Google Maps to embark on your virtual journey through Tbilisi. You could make it more fun by one of you operating the screen and the other guessing the locations.
- Find online resources to guide your wine tasting. There are many videos and podcasts available that talk about Georgian wines. This will not only add to your knowledge but bring a guided tour feel to your date night.
- Try to create a mood that is conductive to a relaxing and enjoyable evening. Play some Georgian music in the background, dim the lights, and perhaps light a few candles. It’s about creating a memorable and unique experience right in the heart of your home.
