Georgian wine in a nutshell
Georgia has one of the oldest winemaking traditions in the world, going back about 8,000 years. Its signature method ferments grapes with their skins in qvevri, large clay vessels buried in the ground, and it is listed by UNESCO as intangible cultural heritage. Look out for Saperavi, the deep red grape, and white varieties such as Rkatsiteli, Mtsvane and Kisi, which often become orange (amber) wines.
Where to go for tastings
Kakheti in the east is the heart of Georgian wine, with Telavi, Sighnaghi and dozens of family cellars about two hours from Tbilisi. Kartli, Imereti and Racha have their own local styles, and Tbilisi itself has wine bars and shops where you can taste several regions in one evening.
Tips for a tasting day
Book a tasting with a driver or join a wine tour instead of driving yourself, eat along the way, and ask the host about the qvevri process. Harvest season, called rtveli, runs from September to October and is the liveliest time to visit, but most cellars welcome guests all year.
Quick answers
Are wine tastings suitable for international visitors?
Yes. Listings are aimed at travelers and often note available languages. Confirm language options with the vendor before booking.

What is qvevri wine?
Wine fermented and aged in a qvevri, a clay vessel buried underground. White grapes are often left on their skins, which gives the wine an amber colour and a firmer, tannic taste.
Can I visit wineries on a day trip from Tbilisi?
Yes. Kakheti is roughly two hours away by car, so a day trip with two or three tastings is common. Longer stays let you combine cellars with Sighnaghi, Alaverdi or the Gremi fortress.
