It’s the latest hot thing: not only can you drink that nectar of the gods (which has been produced in Georgia for over 7,000 years) but now you can bathe away your troubles in it and get scrubbed with grape pips for good measure!
Give the Spa venues below a try while you’re here- you can’t say you’ve truly experienced Georgian wine till you do!
KVARELI EDEN
Unnico Spa is located inside the Kvareli Eden Hotel, in the oldest wine producing region of the world, 135km from the capital of Georgia, Tbilisi.
Wine Spa Kvareli was born to give a push to local tourism, and to pay homage to the excellent properties of the wines and grapes from the Kakheti region. This Spa has also helped the local population by training its workforce on Customer care, Massage treatments and High-quality service.
Kvareli Eden Wine Spa uses only Maddi Ayarza Cosmetics and all natural ingredients from the region (grapes, roses and honey), in order to provide the most exclusive, natural and effective treatments for your body and mind.
The Vitis Vinifera fruit is their most important treatment: used in cosmetics and added to the formula as an active ingredient, it fights premature skin aging. This is possible thanks to the action that captures free radicals and the antioxidant action provided by the abundance of polyphenols.
Natural elements such as stone and wood perfectly combine with gold leaf to provide an atmosphere of luxury and comfort.
