About this tour
This is a short call about reading Georgian wine labels rather than a live walk. We go through what the region, grape and vessel type on a bottle actually mean. It works from a few bottles I keep at home.
I show two or three labels side by side and explain the differences, then answer whatever questions come up about a specific bottle. We end with a short list of names worth looking for.
It suits anyone heading to a wine shop or restaurant afterwards, and travellers who want to choose confidently rather than guess.

- A 30-minute call with a local guide
- Honest tips on where to eat, stay and what to skip
- A short follow-up note with every place mentioned
Not included

Itinerary

Hello, and what you want to know 5 min
The guide calls you and asks what you are after: planning Tbilisi, recommendations, or just questions.
-
Reading a qvevri wine label 17 min
I hold up a few bottles on camera and explain what the region and grape names on a Georgian label actually tell you before you choose one.
-
Your questions 5 min
Ask anything that is still on your mind, there is no fixed script.
-
A written note after the call 3 min
You get a short follow-up message with everything mentioned, so you do not have to remember it all.
Good to know
- A stable phone or internet connection, whichever the guide uses to reach you.
- No app to install. You answer when the guide calls, or join a video call if you would rather.
- Times are shown in Tbilisi time, so check the time where you are before you book.
- The call is not recorded. Keep your own note of anything you want to remember, or wait for the follow-up message.
- Have your questions ready, though there is time to think of more as you go.
Questions about this tour
What will the call cover?
The guide talks you through Tbilisi: where to go, what to eat, and answers to whatever you ask.
What happens if the call drops?
The guide will try you again straight away.
Can I ask the guide questions during the session, or is it a fixed script?
Anything, any time. Sessions leave room for your own questions throughout, not just at the end.
Do I need to buy or cook anything?
No. This is a conversation: the guide describes the dishes and where to find them, so you can try them yourself whenever suits you.
