Georgia to be guest of honour at this year’s Budapest Wine Festival

Georgia will be a guest of honour at the 33rd Budapest Wine Festival, and will present its special vintages alongside wines from Hungarian and international producers. The festival running from 12 to 15 September on the terraces of the Buda Castle also features gastronomic specialties and discussions, among other programmes.

Archaeological research indicates that Georgian wine culture dates back 8,000 years, and many of the typical amber, skin-fermented, high-tannin natural white wines produced today are made using very similar methods.

Georgian dishes associated with its different regions will also be on offer as well as gastronomic selections, served as an accompaniment to the wines, as diverse as Indian, French and Taiwanese fare.

Also, celebrated and lesser-known wineries will have the chance to present their wines at the prestigious VinAgora International Wine Competition.
