Georgia will be among the top guests of the new Bordeaux Centre for Wine and Civilisations in France, which festively opened this afternoon in the famous French wine region.
The opening ceremony was led by France’s President Francois Hollande and the Mayor of Bordeaux Alain Juppe.
Georgia’s Prime Minister Giorgi Kvirikashvili and a Georgian delegation attended the event.
For the first year the Centre will promote a range of international wines but in mid-2017 Georgia will present a solo exhibition celebrating its traditional winemaking and viticulture.
Georgia’s exhibition will be named Vineyard-Georgia and take place at the Bordeaux Centre for Wine and Civilisations in July-August 2017.

Today President Hollande and the Bordeaux Mayor once again confirmed Georgia is a cradle of wine civilisation and that is a very important achievement,” Kvirikashvili said and thanked Georgian Embassies abroad, the Ministry of Agriculture of Georgia, and the country’s friends from France and Spain for their efforts and support.
The Bordeaux Centre for Wine and Civilisations will jointly organise and finance the exhibition with Georgia.
Building the new centre was initiated by the Bordeaux City Mayor, Alain Juppe. The Centre, which spans 14,000m2, will feature modern architecture and technology and will present the latest achievements in the wine field.
