Georgia is known for its hospitality and hugely generous people, and we’ll sample this today when we visit a local family for a homemade Georgian feast, complete with the wine you’ve already heard so much about.

On our way back to Tbilisi, we’ll stop off at a UNESCO World Heritage site – a local winery where wine has been made for centuries using huge clay jars known as ‘Qvevri’. Back in the capital, you have a free night (to sample more delicious wine, we assume.)
