Discover Georgia's wine-growing landscapes, grape traditions, and signature styles

About Georgia's wine regions

Georgia is widely regarded as the cradle of wine, with archaeological evidence of winemaking dating back more than 8,000 years. What makes this heritage especially compelling is the country's geography: a compact landscape that ranges from humid Black Sea lowlands to cool mountain valleys, shaped by varied soils, elevations, and countless local microclimates.

Over centuries, Georgian growers learned to work with these conditions, developing region-specific grape varieties and distinct winemaking traditions. Today, Georgia's wine regions serve as a practical guide through this diversity - grounding each wine in its place, climate, and cultural identity.

Georgian wine heritage

8000 years of living winemaking tradition

From qvevri buried beneath the soil of village cellars to the vineyards of Kakheti and Imereti, Georgian wine has always been part of daily life. Tradition here isn't frozen in the past - it's practiced every harvest, through natural fermentation, indigenous grapes, and families who continue to make wine the way they always have. This living culture, recognized by UNESCO, is why Georgia is considered the world's oldest continuously active winemaking country.
