Tbilisoba (Tbilisi City Celebration) as a celebration was first marked on October 28, 1979 and since than it has became the tradition. At the weekend the meeting of the present and past occurs in the city and the old Tbilisi is livened up once again. You will still meet Karachoghelis, water sellers and Kintoes in the street. The first established Tbilisoba was held in the renovated districts of the city in the form of the fancy dress carnival: Tbilisi noblemen and Kneinas dressed in the Georgian traditional dresses were looking out from the balconies on the rafts drifting on the Mtkvari.

In Tbilisoba not only Tbilisi resi ... Read more »

and their use is an extra cost. Traditional Georgian wine can not be made
without qvevri! Qvevri is a phenomenal vessel the origin of which dates back to
the ancient Georgian history. Qvevri making and generally the qvevri is an
integral part of traditional Georgian wine making. In past, qvevri was used for

Sundays are for fun. Waking up on Sunday morning subconsciously knowing that it’s a day off feels just nice. Most people I know try to relax on Sundays. They go out of town, fishing, sailing, spending the day with the family. Sunday's sun feels different because you know you will feel the sun on your skin, as opposed to looking at it from the office window. This is a very usual Sunday morning for a lot of people.
