Wine is the national pride of Georgia. There are more than 500 varieties of autochthonous (local) grape varieties in the country, all of them are included in the national Red Book and are protected by the state.
There are five key wine-growing zones in modern Georgia: Kakheti, Kartli, Imereti, Racha–Lechkhumi and the Black Sea Coast Zone, which includes three regions - Adjara, Guria and Samegrelo.
Georgians have shared a love for grapes since time immemorial and remain faithful to it to this day. Our museums contain numerous artifacts dating back thousands of years related to the wine-making practice.
The history of wine dates back to the Neolithic era, and the most striking trace of it was discovered here in Georgia. Georgians consider wine a sacred drink.In the 4th century, Saint Nino, the enlightener of Georgia, arrived in Georgia from Cappadocia with a grape cross entwined with her hair, and after the acts of the Saint, in 326 AD, Georgians converted to Christianity.
Thus, grapes and vines occupy an important
place in the symbolism of Georgia.
