Georgia is the birthplace and cradle of wine, where an unbroken winemaking tradition dates back to 6000 B.C. The discovery of 8,000-year-old clay vessel fragments in the Marneuli Valley, bearing chemical traces of tartaric acid, scientifically proves that humankind first domesticated the wild grapevine and crafted wine right here, on Georgian soil.
Story
The history of Georgian wine began during the Neolithic era, in the 6th millennium B.C. During archaeological excavations at Gadachrili Gora and Shulaveri Gora, scientists discovered ancient clay jars containing grape seeds and undeniable chemical evidence of winemaking. Over millennia, Georgia developed and preserved a unique winemaking method using Qvevri—large earthenware vessels buried underground—a tradition now recognized as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage. This is an 8,000-year-old story of an uninterrupted bond between mankind and the vine.
