Professionals, connoisseurs of winemaking, representatives of trade organizations and just connoisseurs of Georgian wine gather at the festival venues. You can taste any wine absolutely for free. It is only necessary to properly assess your capabilities so that the holiday does not end sadly.

Among the tasters there are "secret sommeliers" who evaluate the quality of the wine.
