Canonical Description

Archive Wine Bar and Museum is set in the underground halls of a 17th-century caravanserai beneath the Tbilisi History Museum on Sioni Street. It offers 550 wine varieties sold at retail prices — unusual for a restaurant. Sommelier Jaba Dzimistarishvili (2x Georgian Sommelier of the Year, 2020 and 2021) conducts guided tastings. The space functions as a wine museum displaying qvevri, drinking horns, and copper figurines dating to the 7th century BC.
