Abstract

It is hard to find another region in the world, where such diversity of landscapes, ecological zones and unique cultures is gathered, as in Georgia.

Today, agrotourism is successfully developing in our country, and the main emphasis in this area is on wine tourism. The word "wine" comes from the Georgian language. There are sufficient resources for the development of wine tourism in the homeland of the vine. The basis for this is the unique geographical location of Georgia. It is widely known that out of 2000 grape varieties in the world, 500 are Georgian. The place of wine in tourism is determined by the resources and opportunities available in the country. It is a part of culture and disposable income for different countries of the world. 

Wine is part of Georgia's heritage, which includes architecture, poetry, song, and religion. Wine is a symbol of rebirth, wealth and abundance. Georgia has more original grape varieties (more than 500) than any other country in the world. The mild climate and humid air caused by the Black Sea create the best conditions for the development of winemaking and viticulture in the country.
