The New York Times published its annual “52 Places to Go in 2025” list, highlighting the Western Georgia's city of Kutaisi as one of the must-visit destinations.

In its article, the New York Times described Kutaisi as one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world, filled with rich history and surrounded by Georgia’s abundant natural beauty. 

“In recent years, the city has gained broader attention, thanks to direct flights from dozens of European cities via discount airlines”, the magazine said.

“Early this year, Kutaisi will open a new interactive digital museum, housed in a former royal residence, highlighting its 3,500-year history. Additionally, a new cultural center will host folk evenings featuring traditional Georgian dancing and polyphonic singing”, the New York Times continued.

The magazine further noted that Kutaisi was an ideal starting point for exploring the Caucasus Mountains, the Black Sea coast, cave dwellings, and nearby castles and villages, adding that visitors could also enjoy the city itself, touring its historical center, Green Bazaar, and an array of cafes, bars, restaurants, and ancient churches.

This year, under the auspices of the state programme to promote Georgian wine, five Georgian wine-producing companies received co-financing totalling 224.3 thousand GEL. These are: Villa Mosavali, Chelti Winery, Tiko Estate, BG Wines, and Askaneli Brothers.

According to the National Wine Agency, a total of twenty applications were submitted to the programme, with only the aforementioned five companies meeting the necessary criteria.

“The volume of wine exported to target markets by participating companies amounted to 676,685.75 litres in 2025, representing a 20 per cent increase compared to the same period in 2024,” the National Wine Agency stated.

In line with the programme’s objectives, and through targeted marketing efforts, these companies have substantially boosted their exports to markets across America, Europe, and Asia, the agency added.

The state programme to promote Georgian wine was approved by the Government of Georgia in September 2021, with the aim of enhancing the export potential of Georgian wine and diversifying priority markets. The LEPL National Wine Agency implements this programme in coordination with the Ministry of Environmental Protection and Agriculture of Georgia.

“It is noteworthy that the agency offers co-financing for marketing expenses solely to companies exporting to priority markets around the world, excluding the CIS and GUAM countries,” the National Wine Agency concluded.
