GEORGIA

Season 6, Episode 3

Georgia isn’t just another wine country; it’s the birthplace of wine, with over 8,000 years of continuous winemaking history. From clay qvevris buried in the earth to the ancient songs sung at the supra, Georgia’s wine culture is unlike anywhere else in the world. In this episode, Vince travels through the world’s oldest wine country to uncover how faith, history, and family intertwine in every glass. Meet the winemakers reviving ancient grapes like Saperavi and Rkatsiteli, explore the dramatic landscapes of the Caucasus Mountains, and discover why Georgian wine is more than a drink; it’s a way of life.

TBILISI

Tbilisi is one of my favorite towns I've ever visited! It’s lively, colorful, and packed with history, great food, cocktail bars, sights, and amazing people. A great place to get your bearings before heading into wine country.

CHRELI-ABANO BATH HOUSE

The sulfur bath houses in the Abanotubani area are a classic Tbilisi experience. You get scrubbed, steamed, and fully reset. It’s weird, fun, and totally worth doing.

CHVENI

Chveni is one the top restaurants in Tbilisi. The food is incredible, modern, and still very Georgian. Chef Guram really throws down; it’s the perfect intro to the country’s cuisine.
