Georgia is celebrated as the "Cradle of Wine," a land with over 8,000 years of winemaking heritage. Here, the art of viticulture began as early as the Neolithic period, with wine crafted in ancient pre-Qvevri vessels, a tradition that has endured and evolved through millennia.
Even the word "wine" itself reflects Georgia's influence. Linguists trace its origin in European languages, vinum, vin, wine, wein, вино, back to the Georgian word “ghvino".
Diversity defines the wine regions of Georgia, each offering its own unique character shaped by distinct soils, climates and traditions. Home to 525 indigenous grape varieties, nearly one-sixth of the world’s total, Georgia offers an unparalleled diversity of flavours and wine styles.
