A manifestation of ancient culture and heritage
See the crossroad of the future. The pavilion focuses on traditional winemaking, the Georgian alphabet, sustainable tourism and various business opportunities that stem from Georgian culture/heritage.
What to expect
-
Georgian winemaking
See Georgia’s oldest Qvevri, a clay pot for storing/fermenting wine, from the 6th century BC. Take a look at displays of a historic sculpture of a Tamada (the traditional toastmaster at Georgian feasts), a Satsnakheli (a traditional 9th-century Georgian wine press), and a Supra (a traditional Georgian feast rug).
-
Georgian Alphabet
The Georgian alphabet, is a 'living culture of three writing systems' and is in the UNESCO list of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. There are 33 letters in the modern Georgian alphabet; 5 vowels and 28 consonants with no capital letters and each letter is pronounced exactly as it is written.
-
Georgia as a trade and logistics hub
As a country at the heart of the crossroad between East and West, the histories of Georgia's famous sites and traditions are interwoven with the histories of many different cultures, yet Georgia has always remained distinctly itself. The Pavilion highlights not just the mobility of culture but also the unique opportunity Georgia presents as a regional hub of trade and logistics.
