Living Roots Travel

Here’s a list of the festivals we love this season🍷 the ones we return to, again and again.

There’s something about gathering around natural wine in Georgia that feels both ancient and completely alive. In May, for three days, the country comes together to celebrate the new vintage, the people behind it, and a culture that runs deep. Still, it’s never really about the event itself - it’s about the people, and the stories you take with you. See you there on May 1-2 at Zero Compromise in Radiocity and May 3 at Saamuri Fabrika and Iago’s Winery in Chardakhi.

And while festivals come and go — cellar doors stay open. Meet the winemakers in their own cellars, all year round with Living Roots.

🇯🇵🇬🇪 super news of the day: the khinkali character has officially been approved by Japan’s Ministry of Education and added to the 🎌 Jōyō Kanji list!

📍The character is composed of six borjgali-like folds, placed on the “mountain” kanji 山 (yama).
Above it, like rising steam, sits 今 (now), bringing the whole image together to suggest:
“Khinkali is best enjoyed in the mountains — right now.”

“A big milestone — and the result of 13 years of work,” writes the Japanese culture center in Tbilisi. ❤️

Actually this reminded us that we’d like to see the khinkali emoji added to the lists.

Explore with Living Roots the rich broth and tastes of various Khinkali from curated Tbilisi spots to the mountains - you’ll be surprised at how much more is there beyond the super nice meat ones 🥟
