We’re bringing together the world’s most influential winemakers, experts, sommeliers, journalists, and critics all in one spot at the Tsinandali Estate. A highlight will be a tasting of 2010 Bordeaux Grand Cru wines, a significant chapter in our wine heritage that’s unparalleled in the region. I’m grateful for the support of the Government of Georgia and the Bank of Georgia, reinforcing our commitment to elevate the symposium’s standards and spotlight Georgia as a prime destination for wine aficionados. It’s a matter of pride for us that this symposium will be inaugurated in Tsinandali, the birthplace of modern Georgian winemaking, where Alexander Chavchavadze first bottled Georgian wine using European techniques.”
