  • We kick things off today in the company of three guests to discuss the series of Wine Fairs that take place in and around Tbilisi each year in May. During my visit this included the two day Zero Compromise Fair, The Saamuri Wine Fair, Sherekilebi and the New Wine Fair. Absolutely making this the best time of the year to visit. For those who want to taste local and international wines, poured by the winemakers and meet other wine lovers from around the world.
