As part of our "Helping Neighbors" philosophy, HORIZONS is proud to support a family-owned winery in Bakurtsikhe. We invite all guests to join in the unique Rtveli, the traditional grape harvest festival.
Rtveli is Georgia’s iconic grape harvest
and a cherished autumn tradition. Each fall, families gather in the vineyards to pick grapes, stomp them in wooden presses, and celebrate with music, food, and wine.
