• Badiauri - Traditional Bread Baking in Badiauri Village

In the tranquil village of Badiauri, age-old traditions are alive with every loaf baked in the local bakery. Here, bread is crafted the traditional way — with natural ingredients, patience, and love.

Local bakers hand-prepare the dough using simple, fresh ingredients. The bread is baked in a traditional clay oven known as a “tone,” which imparts a unique, smoky flavor and a perfectly crispy crust. The warmth of the tone and the skilled hands of the bakers produce bread that is soft inside and delightfully fragrant.

Visiting Badiauri’s bakery is like stepping into a living piece of Georgian heritage — where each bite tells a story of tradition, family, and the joy of sharing fresh bread with loved ones.

• Kakheti Region - Georgian Wine – The Cradle of Winemaking

Georgia is not merely a wine country — it is the birthplace of wine, boasting over 8,000 years of winemaking history. What sets Georgian wine apart is the ancient method of fermenting grapes in clay vessels called qvevri, buried underground. This traditional process, recognized by UNESCO, imparts a natural, earthy character to the wine that is unmatched elsewhere.

The Kakheti region is the heart of Georgian wine culture, where families and small wineries proudly produce both amber (orange) wines and robust reds from indigenous grape varieties like Saperavi and Rkatsiteli.

Tasting wine in Georgia is more than just drinking — it’s about sharing stories, tradition, and hospitality. Each glass connects you to the land, the people, and the essence of this ancient culture.
