    1. Viticulture, as a part of agriculture and tourism, thoroughly differs among nations by its structure and production methods. Some countries have their own traditions and specific directions toward the wine sector. Winemaking also has its economic load and perspectives by country. In this regard, it is quite compelling to compare how Georgia and Switzerland lead viticulture, what kind of methods they have, and how winemaking is worthwhile for the economic sector. Georgia, located in Eastern Europe, is generally considered a country of diverse capabilities and a long history of being one of the rich natural resources in the Southern Caucasus region. With approximately three and a half million people, Georgia as an agricultural state has a significant role in promoting rural tourism (Karzig & Schweiter, 2022). According to National Geographic, Georgia's agritourism is mostly favored in the wine-producing sector, named as the "Cradle of Wine" (National Geographic, 2018). Georgia has a competitive advantage among developed winemaking countries. More precisely, traditions of viticulture have an original varietal composition of wine production and accumulated unique experience is also another turning point for century-old wine history. Georgia's wine production is distinguished by 525 endemic grape varieties and roughly 30 types of grapes are used for commercial goals (Kutateladze & Koblianidze, 2021, pp. 18-19). Georgia has six main winemaking regions, most of them located in eastern Georgia.Wine production, as a part of agritourism, is significant to promoting the process of diversification and the country's capital income. Wine is Georgia's fourth largest export product in Europe (ცაცკრიალაშვილი , 2019, pp. 28-31 )
