15 October - Rtveli in Georgia
You may think why is harvesting so special as it is a usual process in the agricultural routine. However, if we consider the fact that the history of the viticulture is 8000 years old, the tradition of Rtveli dates back to the ancient times. It normally takes place in late September, but this year the harvesting time started earlier.
Even in Tbilisi and other big cities, you can feel that the harvesting started, as there are many fresh grapes on the street markets. However, if you want to experience it and be in the heart of the process, you have to go to one of the villages in the Kakheti region.
Rtveli - celebrating grape harvestspirit that has been carried throughout centuries still exist as a living tradition. Rtveli is a Georgian word that stands for grape harvest, like many other words for viticulture and winemaking – Georgians added Rtveli to their wine-vocabulary. Rtveli is not just a harvest, Georgians still view this activity as a celebration.
