With the financial support of the National Wine Agency [NWA] and the organization of the marketing company "Red Bridge", Georgian wine tasting seminars will be held in various cities in Japan for wine professionals and commercial entities employed in the wine trade, and tours of Japanese wine professionals and media representatives to Georgia will be organized.
The NWA has been cooperating with the Japanese marketing company "Red Bridge" since 2017. Red Bridge is headed by Kenichi Ohashi, the only Master of Wine in Japan.
Japan is one of the strategic markets for Georgian wine in Asia, where, with the support of the NWA, the 1st large-scale presentation of Georgian wine took place in 2014.
