Women in Georgian Winemaking – Authentic Wine Tours in Georgia | Women in Wine Industry

14/01/2026

In Georgia, wine is more than tradition — it is culture, emotion, identity, and everyday life. With over 8,000 years of continuous winemaking history, Georgia is widely known as the Cradle of Wine. But this ancient heritage is not frozen in time. Today, it is evolving — thoughtfully, creatively, and confidently.

One of the most inspiring parts of this evolution is the Women in Wine Industry association — a community of women winemakers from different regions of Georgia, each bringing her own story, style, and philosophy to Georgian wine.


Women shaping the future of Georgian wine
Members of Women in Wine Industry represent diverse regions and approaches to winemaking. Among them are winemakers who:

Craft wines in traditional qvevri

Work with oak barrels and stainless steel, depending on wine style

Produce sparkling wines (Pet-Nat)

Create artisanal liqueurs and experimental styles


For visitors, this means one thing: a wine tour with us offers not just one perspective, but a full panorama of modern Georgian winemaking.

What makes our wine tours different?
A Women in Wine Industry tour is not a standard winery visit. It is a personal, authentic experience where guests:

Meet the women winemakers themselves

Visit real working cellars and maranis

Taste wines in the place where they are made

Learn why a winemaker chooses qvevri, barrel, or stainless steel

Discover how wine connects with Georgian culture, cuisine, and everyday life

This is wine tourism for people who value authenticity, depth, and meaningful connection.

When is the best time to visit?
Each season offers a different kind of experience — which is why many guests return more than once.

Spring — Qvevri Opening Season
One of the most emotional moments in Georgian winemaking. When the qvevri is opened after months underground, the wine is revealed for the first time. The result is never fully predictable — and that is exactly what makes the experience so fascinating.

Autumn — Harvest Season
Vineyards full of life, grape picking, movement in the cellar, aromas everywhere. Guests can observe — and often participate in — the dynamic rhythm of harvest.

Winter — Calm, intimate wine experiences
Winter tours are ideal for deeper conversations. With fewer visitors and a slower pace, winemakers have more time to share knowledge, philosophy, and personal stories.

Why travelers choose Women in Wine Industry tours
Because everything is real:

Real people, not staged performances

Real wines, not commercial showcases

Real stories that stay with you long after the trip ends

These tours are for those who want not only to taste wine, but to understand it, feel it, and connect with it.

If you love wine, travel, culture — or simply meaningful experiences — Georgia and the women behind its wines will leave a lasting impression.

The development of the wine tourism project within our association has been made possible thanks to the financial support of the German Government and the active involvement of the German Agency for International Cooperation (GIZ).

This partnership reflects our commitment to international standards, sustainable development, and a long-term vision for Georgian wine tourism.
