Georgian Wine and Song

Wine lies at the very core of Georgian culture, shaping traditions and everyday life across the country. Much of Georgia’s renowned polyphonic singing is dedicated to themes of vine and wine, reflecting its deep cultural significance. Historically, people performed traditional folk rituals at various stages of winemaking, such as tending the vineyard, pressing grapes, and opening a Qvevri (a clay wine vessel). Farmers still sing in their vineyards and wine cellars, keeping the spirit alive, while professional folk ensembles showcase Georgia’s rich heritage to audiences worldwide through captivating performances.
