At the 4th Guria Wine Festival, which was held in the village of Goraberezhouli, in the historic estate of the Eristavi, in a unique setting with a diverse exposition, the center presented wines made from restored varieties of rare Guria grapevines.

As part of the event, the Director of the Center, Professor Levan Ujmajuridze, addressed the festival participants, emphasizing the outstanding importance of the Guria grape varieties as one of the main symbols of the region's uniqueness and the systematic activities that the Center carries out in the direction of research and dissemination of local genetic resources.

"The diversity of the Guria grapevine is not only a regional heritage, but also a national treasure, the study, protection and reintegration of which into local viticulture is one of the main tasks of the Scientific-Research Center.

The Guria Wine Festival allows us to provide the public with real results that are created on the basis of science, labor and teamwork," - said Levan Ujmajuridze.
