Join us for the next chapter in our food & wine discovery series at the Berkshire Botanical Gardens, as we travel far back in culinary and winemaking history to the Transcaucasia region of Georgia, with acclaimed author and food scholar Darra Goldstein.

The evening seminar will feature a re-creation of some of Goldstein's very own recipes from her book The Georgian Feast: The Vibrant Culture and Savory Food of the Republic of Georgia.
Guests will sample a spread of small servings of traditional Georgian foods, such as chikhirtma, pkhali, and Khachapuri paired alongside traditional wines of Georgia.

Georgia is the home of grapevine cultivation and neolithic wine production — dating back to 6000 BC — and in 2013 UNESCO added the ancient traditional Georgian wine making method using qvevri clay jars to their Intangible Cultural Heritage Lists.

This will be an evening of discovery and exploration. We look forward to talking about & tasting the history of Georgia, where winemaking has been taking place for 8,000 years and where the culture of this ancient land is so clearly expressed through its indigenous flavors and ingredients.
Georgia is a true "Old World" wine country. We invite you to explore the diverse grape varietals, processes and styles that make Georgian wines so distinct, delicious and perfect complements to the country's traditional dishes.
