Question 4

What should I know about wineries in Georgia?

Accepted Answer

Georgia is widely regarded as the birthplace of wine, with archaeological evidence of winemaking dating back approximately 8,000 years. The country is home to over 500 indigenous grape varieties, including Saperavi, Rkatsiteli, and Mtsvane. Georgian winemaking is distinguished by the qvevri method, where wine is fermented and aged in large clay vessels buried underground, a technique recognized by UNESCO as Intangible Cultural Heritage. Wineries range from large commercial producers to small family operations (marani), many of which offer tastings, tours, and direct sales. The primary wine-producing region is Kakheti in eastern Georgia, though notable production also occurs in Kartli, Imereti, and Racha-Lechkhumi.
