REAL FAMILY RTVELI 2023, 1 Day tours. We join various winemaking families, on the actual days where the real harvest is happening. The grapes you pick will be used to make the wines for the family that they will drink and sell the following year.

This is a truly grass-roots experience and fully immersive. Follow every step of the Rtveli, with the family and their friends, from picking grapes to enjoying a supra (feast) with the tamada (toastmaster).

We run a very limited number of these, and they are highly weather dependent, which is why very few tour companies offer this type of experience. We do it because we believe authenticity is a priority for our guests – and because we just love doing these tours. Read our article that explains Rtveli and the experience, step by step and in pictures.

The format for each date is similar, but we visit different families in different locations so the itinerary and timing can vary a little bit. Read the full details for each date BEFORE BOOKING. See more info below.

Want to make this a 2-day tour?

We are assessing interest in 2-day versions of this tour. The day BEFORE the harvest date you book would be the option for an additional day – which would include a guaranteed visit to Signagi and a multi-course wine pairing lunch at a higher-end vineyard. If you’d like to request the additional day, please note that in the message field of the booking request. We’ll let you know if it is possible. If the 2-day option is essential and you won’t consider the 1-day option, then email us first [email protected] before booking a date.

Visit a family winery to experience the traditional wine harvest festival (Rtveli): picking grapes, and processing them into the qvevri (very occasionally to steel tanks). (NOTE: Crushing by foot only happens rarely at real rtveli, if you want to do foot pressing please book a simulation tour)
A homemade traditional "supra" large feast - a lot of food! And free-flowing wine - with the winemaker and/or family members. Lunch AND Dinner is included.
Meet the winemaker and taste his wines at a micro-producing (<15,000 bottles per year) artisan home winery. Learn about Georgia's 8000 year history of winemaking - the oldest on Earth.
Get lessons from mother on making khinkali (soup dumplings) and/or khachapuri and/or Mtsvadi, national foods of Georgia.
Visit a cultural stop in the morning before the harvest, or in the afternoon before the supra (depends on the location of the winery, most, not all, Rtveli trips will include at least one historic / culture stop.)

All our Real Family Rtveli tours are weather dependent and subject to last-minute changes and substitutions.

Please set your expectations that you will have a really fun harvest experience, but that it may not be the exact one you booked. If you want a fixed itinerary with specific stops that are not subject to change on the day, please book one of our fixed tours or harvest simulations (not weather dependent).

Tour Booking Summary/Conditions:

Please note in 2022 we did not have to cancel any real Rtveli dates or substitute with simulation rtveli. We hope for good weather again, but to protect our business and your expectations, we have the following rules in place. If it doesn’t work for you, please do not book :-) We honestly don’t want to change anything, it’s more work for us! But the weather is out of our control…

1-Day Real Family Rtveli – real wine harvest at a small artisan winery with the family – unless weather issues (then we normally provide a simulation family Rtveli or sometimes date change at no extra fee – or we refund if the price has to be more and is not acceptable).
Consider this a harvest mystery tour. You will have an amazing harvest experience, but we cannot always guarantee the exact itinerary, family or final harvest location. If you want guaranteed timings and locations, please book a harvest simulation instead.
CONFIRMED & EXPECTED DATES can be booked from the booking calendar immediately. A deposit is required to hold the dates.
PROVISIONAL DATES will become listed in the calendar once winemakers confirm and depending on demand. If NONE of the current available dates work for you, please join the waitlist instead. The more people that join, the more new dates we can release.
If we cancel, or cannot place you on an agreed date, we’ll refund your deposit. If the winemaker/weather prevents real Rtveli we will provide a family Rtveli simulation tour on the same date, or move you to a different real Rtveli date (depending on availability). The final balance is paid on the day when you join the tour. If you cancel, no refund. See detailed refund conditions in the FAQs at the bottom of this page.

The basic list of information for each date is below – PLEASE CHECK THE LIST BEFORE booking a date with the booking calendar.

What to Expect: Wine Harvest (Rtveli 2023) Tour

You are ready to explore Georgian natural wine but don't want to push your boundaries too far.
Moderate level of physical activity. The only active part of the day is picking grapes and stomping them, but you can take this at your own pace.
Moderately relaxed pace. You only visit one winery and all the food & wine activities will be connected to them and their vineyard.
Focused on amber & red wine. Mostly qvevri wines, but it depends which vineyard you visit for the Rtveli.

Taste Georgia’s 8,000-Year Wine History & experience the traditions of the Rtveli (wine harvest festival).

The harvest experience will take place at a home family winery, you will help the family start the winemaking process. All dates are weather dependent and please read our substitution/cancellation policy below for full details of what happens if it rains or if the sugar level of grapes is not enough for the winemaker to harvest.

REMINDER:

You may end up at a different winery than planned if conditions change.
Substitution with a harvest simulation or rebooking is possible if conditions are not right for harvest.
Foot pressing of grapes is not typical in modern times. Normally a mobile motorized de-stemming and pressing machine is used. Occasionally a hand-cranked press, and rarely foot pressing (with gumboots on, provided). We cannot guarantee in advance which method you will get to experience.
There may be some waiting time between activities while the winemaker focuses on making the wine. You can watch, help, relax, drink wine (typically!) etc. Your guide can keep you entertained. Just chill and enjoy the day, not everything needs to be hectic!

The format of each trip is always approximately the same, but the timings and the optional activities vary depending on the winery location and the preferences of the winemaker.

~8:30amPickup & depart Tbilisi. EXACT TIME VARIES.

Pickup between 7:45 AM and 9:30 AM depending on the location of the winery and how hot the weather is. We will inform you in advance of your exact pickup time & location.

For groups of 8 to 14 persons, pickup is central at Rose Revolution Square Bicycle monument.

For groups of 7 or less, we can normally (not always) offer hotel pickup for each guest.

* Ninotsminda Cathedral OR

11:00amPick grapes in the vineyard

Join the winemaker and family/community members in picking grapes.

Total time picking depends on group size and the amount of grapes they need to pick that day. 30 minutes to 1.5 hours is typical. Occasionally longer. But you can take breaks and rest as needed, you are not on the payroll ;-)

12:30 PMVine-side BBQ OR snacks & wine at the family home

There will be food and drink after picking! It’s down to the winemaker to decide if they want to get the grapes back fast to the marani (wine cellar) or celebrate the successful harvest in the vineyard. We can’t guarantee which they’ll do.

1:15 PMProcess the grapes

Help unload the grapes at the wine cellar. See the processing of the grapes and assist as needed. Learn more about how wine is made and natural fermentation begins.

Most winemakers use a mobile motorized wine press. A few still use a manual system like foot pressing or hand crank press. We cannot guarantee which will be used. If you want the stomping grapes by foot experience, please book our harvest simulation tour instead.

2 pmAfternoon activity / excursion

Afternoon excursions are subject to location and time. We cannot guarantee which will happen, if any. Example excursions:

* Telavi plane tree/fortress/market OR
* Signagi City Walls OR
* Bolnisi Zedashe (panoramic views)

OR
* Stay and help at the marani OR
* Relax with wine and snacks OR

5.00pmSupra (feast)

Experience the Rtveli Supra (harvest feast). Enjoy a plethora of homemade traditional food – too much to possibly eat it all! Free-flowing wine from the family cellar. Traditional toasts from the toastmaster “tamada”.

NOTE: Spontaneous dancing or singing happens sometimes. It depends on the family, not every Georgian can sing! We cannot guarantee this, but it’s great when it happens. If you want a guaranteed experience with professional singers, please book a private tour – a minimum of 10 persons, surcharges apply.

7:30 PMDepart for Tbilisi

Exact departure time may vary.

~9 PMArrive to Tbilisi. Between 8:30 PM and 10 PM

The exact arrival time depends on how much fun you were having at the last winery! As well as the location of the winery and if there were any delays during the harvest. Normally by 10 PM, but please assume it could be as late as 11 PM on rare occasions.

FAQ

Is this tour weather dependent?

YES. And we have backup options, in 2022 we did not have to cancel any groups! But we can never guarantee.

The winemaker gets the final say on if they will harvest or not. This depends not only on if it rains a lot (wet grapes can be problematic in the winemaking process) but also on uncharacteristically hot weather (hot grapes ferment faster, among other issues) and also grape sugar level (not enough sugar – ripening – equals poor quality wine, depending on the winemaker’s preference).

Our tour company does not make the final call. We obey the winemaker on this topic. BUT for rain – it’s not all bad, and light or intermittent rain is not always an issue (full info below). For heat, starting earlier can be an option. For sugar level, the winemaker normally knows 3 to 10 days in advance if it looks like grapes will not be ripe enough. So, we can shift dates or switch to an alternate winery in most cases. If all these issues persist, we can provide a simulation harvest in most cases.

Is NOT a Problem:

When Google weather says “80% chance of rain” and then you actually look at the stats and it’s 80% chance of 0.3mm of rain. Or 80% chance of some rain at 4pm (picking will be done by 1pm). So, please don’t panic if the weather forecast says rain, look at the exact estimates.
When the forecast 5 days in advance says rain… As we find every year it can change. We’ll monitor it. If we get to the night before and switch to the fallback harvest simulation option if we have no choice.
Any type of rain after 1pm on the day of the harvest (grapes will already be picked, so not an issue).
Light or intermittent drizzle in the morning or during the harvest. Normally not a problem.
Moderate rain the day before or light rain overnight. Normally not a problem.

IS a Problem:

Prolonged overnight thunderstorms just before the harvest morning.
Moderate or light rain in the morning or during picking.

Please note that in 2022, 100% of our Real Rtveli dates ran on the exact date they were scheduled. We had to change winery on one date (we have multiple home wineries so a switch of itinerary is sometimes possible – different regions have different weather!) and we had one which looked like rain, but not until the afternoon, and the group completed grape picking before the rain came.

So, in general, we make it all work! But, we can never guarantee. See our refund conditions below.

What is your cancellation policy?

Deposit & Refund Conditions:

We can’t control the weather and we can’t take on all the financial risk in case of poor weather conditions. But we have developed a very fair system to account for unpredictable conditions, and you can choose for yourself at each stage of the booking process if you will move to the next stage. NOTE: REAL RTVELI CANCELLATION & REFUND POLICY DIFFERS FROM OUR REGULAR TOURS.

Initial booking. We only take a 100 GEL per person deposit. If you choose to cancel, the deposit is lost. Full, final payment is made on the day of the tour. Please don’t just cancel because it “looks like rain” the winemaker has the final say on the weather conditions, and if they decide to harvest and you canceled, there is no refund. Deposit can be returned if canceling at least 14 days prior to the expected departure date.
If the harvest date changes due to weather, or because the winemaker is not happy with the grape sugar level (also affected by weather), then the real harvest date may change. There are 3 options:
- 1. Same date: We may switch to a winey in another area that is harvesting on the same day you booked. The length of the trip will remain approximately the same, if not, we’ll inform you and you can choose from the other 2 options. If this operates and you choose not to attend, you lose your deposit.
- 2. OR Same Date: We will place you on a harvest simulation tour (if 4 or more people want the simulation rather than changing dates). See more information above. If the simulation cannot run, we will provide a full refund. If this simulation operates and you choose not to attend, you lose your deposit.
- 3. NEW Date: You can switch to whichever new date the winemaker selects (it may be the next day! We never know) or you can transfer to a different harvest tour on a different date (if space is available). If we move to a new date and that Real Rtveli also does not operate again due to weather, the above 3 options will apply again.
If you cancel due to illness, flight cancelation etc. Please recoup lost payments via your traveli insurance.
If the harvest date is canceled by Eat This! Tours, and not by the winery / weather then you have two options:
- 1. Switch to an alternate harvest tour date or simulation date or any other tour (prices may be higher than Rtveli for our non-Rtveli tours, and you’d need to pay the difference).
- 2. Full refund.

Please note that these Real Rtveli tours are incredibly complex to coordinate compared to regular tours. Our small team puts a lot of time into making these work but we cannot guarantee weather and grape sugar levels. Our commitment is for everyone to leave happy and to have had a harvest experience, even if it is not the exact one they had hoped for. Please set your expectations that you will have a really fun harvest experience, but that it may not be the exact one you booked.

Considering this, please be as flexible as possible and try to take the alternate tour options rather than insist on a refund. We’d appreciate it! If your dates are very inflexible you should consider booking a scheduled and fixed date Rtveli simulation that is not weather dependent.

Information on our GENERAL cancellation and refund policy is here: https://eatthistours.com/terms-conditions-of-service/

What do I need to wear/bring?

Sunscreen.
Sunhat.
Clothes that protect your skin are always sensible.
Comfortable shoes with ankle support. Vineyard ground will be uneven.
We provide water, but bring your own reusable flask if you want to reduce plastic waste.

What currency do I need to bring?

The only currency accepted by vendors for buying wine/gifts etc. to take home, is the national currency GEL. You can get this from any ATM and your driver will be happy to stop at one.

Purchase of our tours is normally in GEL based on the current exchange rate for the USD pricing of the tours. We’ll advise you of the exchange rate by email shortly before the tour date.

Some vendors take credit card, but certainly not all of them.

How are your tours priced?

The core difference between our tours and cheap trips is that we take you to exclusive, authentic, private and high quality places, rather than cheap mass tourism wineries and restaurants that offer kickbacks to tour companies that bring tourists. Small groups (max 14) rather than a big bus (15 to 30 people). All-inclusive, free-flowing wine and indulgent amounts of food, rather than hidden costs and pay as you go extras at budget venues.

The price you pay is the exact price it costs us to run the service (paying guides and vendors for what they provide etc.) plus a margin of 10% to 30% to cover marketing costs, office staff, and so we run at a profit (otherwise we’ll go out of business!). The margin depends on the amount of people, and type of tour.

We always try to price transparently and as fairly as possible and to pay guides and vendors above average in order to retain the best people.
