Where History is Tasted at the Table
Caucasus
THE SOUL OF THE LAND
Georgia sits at the heart of the ancient Silk Road, making it for millennia a melting pot of civilisations, flavours and culinary techniques. The Caucasus mountains not only protected the Georgian people but preserved gastronomic traditions that fill our tables today.
From spices brought by Persian merchants to wine fermented in clay Qvevri eight thousand years ago, every element of Georgian cuisine is a chapter of a living history. In Tbilisi in Alvor, that chapter continues.

Milestones of a Civilisation
The Cradle of Wine
Georgia is scientifically recognised as the origin of wine. Archaeologists found grape residues in clay vessels dating back to 6,000 BC, confirming eight millennia of uninterrupted winemaking culture.
The Silk Road
Situated at the crossroads of trade routes between Europe and Asia, Georgia absorbed influences from Persians, Greeks, Arabs and Ottomans — and returned them transformed into unique dishes that exist nowhere else in the world.
The Qvevri Method
Fermentation in clay amphorae buried in the ground is recognised by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. This method preserves the natural aromas of the grape without chemical intervention, creating wines of unmatched authenticity.
