The Georgian National Tourism Administration on Thursday said Vinos Y Caminos, a Spanish website on gastronomy and culture, had promoted the country’s winemaking history, cuisine and tourism potential.
The Administration said the article on the website highlighted the country’s winemaking history that spanned over 8,000 years as an “oldest wine-producing region in the world” and noted archaeological studies had confirmed Georgia as the “cradle of wine” with 525 indigenous grape varieties.
The outlet said the country’s gastronomy was a combination of food and wine traditions that included the hospitality of supra - the traditional Georgian feast.
The article also emphasised Georgia’s tourism potential as “important” for the country, with its attractions including 2,000 mineral springs and more than 12,000 historical and cultural monuments, four of them recognised as UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
