Discover Georgia's wine-growing landscapes, grape traditions, and signature styles
About Georgia's wine regions
Georgia is often called the “cradle of wine,” with winemaking evidence stretching back over 8,000 years. The country's unique geography - from subtropical lowlands to high mountain valleys - combined with clay soils and microclimates, gives rise to a wide spectrum of wine styles.
Over centuries, local growers developed region-specific varieties and winemaking traditions. Today, these regions help us navigate Georgia's diversity by anchoring wines in place, climate, and identity.
