摘　　要：The main goal of my research is to introduce you to the Racha viticulture and wine-making territory. The region has a complex geological and geomorphological structure, which has greatly influenced the formation of relief formation, as well as the culture and traditions of the region. This is an area that meets all the requirements of a geopark, because a geopark is not just a geological area, </span></span><span><span><span style="font-family:"">and </span></span></span><span><span><span style="font-family:"">it is a connection between man and the earth at all levels. Exactly these connections are well identified in the field of this study. The presented viticulture microzone is located on both sides of the Rioni River, although the taste of grapes in the microzone varies from north to south, which does not depend on just one specific geographical component. Soil chemical composition, landscape characteristics, geological characteristics, terrain types, and more are important. Racha Viticulture - Wine Zone and its recognition play an important role in the development of geotourism. What is already creating new jobs is a new economic activity and an additional <span>source of income, economic benefits. Also, the region is mountainous and characterized</span> by severe depopulation. It is possible to limit emigration through research and development in this area.The main goal of my research is to introduce you to the Racha viticulture and wine-making territory.
