Winemaking

Georgia is a distinguished wine-making country, known as the ancient heartland of grapevine culture, as evidenced by the historical materials and references discovered here. With an 8,000-year history of winemaking, Georgia has the oldest continuous viticulture heritage in the world.

Georgia is the only country in the world that still preserves the technology of winemaking in qvevri. This ancient, organic method creates distinctive wines with rich aromas and character. In 2013, UNESCO recognized this method as part of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
