REAL Family Rtveli Wine Harvest Tour - 1 & 2 Day (original) (raw)

REAL FAMILY RTVELI 2024, 1-Day Tours (some 2-day tours available). We join various winemaking families, on the actual days where the real harvest is happening. The grapes you pick will be used to make the wines for the family that they will drink and sell the following year.

This is a truly grass-roots experience and fully immersive. Follow every step of the Rtveli, with the family and their friends, from picking grapes to enjoying a supra (feast) with the tamada (toastmaster). Lunch AND dinner, a lot of wines from lunch onwards!

We run a very limited number of these, and they are highly weather-dependent, which is why very few tour companies offer this type of experience. We do it because we believe authenticity is a priority for our guests – and because we just love doing these tours. Read our article that explains Rtveli and the experience, step by step and in pictures.

The format for each date is similar, but we visit different families in different locations so the itinerary and timing can vary.

Read the full details in the Google calendar below for each date BEFORE BOOKING.

Want to make this a 2-day tour?

All Fridays departures in September that are bookable are 2-day tours, priced at 825 GEL pp. Max 8 people in the group.

We are operating a few 2-day versions of this tour. With a cultural wine and sightseeing day, the day before the harvest date – the exact itinerary will vary, check the calendar. On the harvest day you will combine with another group of 6 to 8 people at the harvest site and supra (feast), but still have your own guide and vehicle.

If a 2-day option is preferred and not available for the dates you want then email us [email protected]

If you have a group of 7+, and would like a private Real Rtveli tour, or for us to open a new date for a shared tour, this is sometimes possible. email us [email protected]

PROVISIONAL: Family Day – Kids Welcome – Are you interested?

Provisional option for 22nd September. Contact [email protected] directly about this please, DON’T book on the web calendar as the current bookable 22nd September date is a standard adults-only Rtveli. We’ll assess demand for a kids-welcome day (or, more than one!) and decide if we can run it. That would be a 2nd Rtveli tour, and not to the same location as the adults-only bookable tour.
