Georgian regions

Georgia is often described as the cradle of wine, with archaeological evidence showing winemaking traditions dating back over 8,000 years. This ancient heritage has been preserved through hundreds of indigenous grape varieties and a unique qvevri winemaking method, recognized by UNESCO.

The country's diverse climate zones and terroirs - from humid subtropical lowlands to cool, high-altitude valleys - create ideal conditions for producing distinctive wines. Each region has developed its own winemaking culture, grape varieties, and styles, reflecting both tradition and innovation.

Today, Georgia is officially divided into several Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) wine regions, each with its own identity and centuries-old reputation. These regions showcase the extraordinary range of Georgian wines, from bold reds of Kakheti to delicate whites of Imereti, refreshing mountain wines of Racha-Lechkhumi, and rare specialties from smaller appellations.

Exploring Georgian wine regions means discovering not just the wines themselves, but also the stories, history, and people behind them. Whether you are a casual enthusiast or a seasoned collector, understanding the regions is the key to appreciating the richness of Georgian viticulture.
