The story

New Wine Festival Tbilisi in Tbilisi

New Wine Festival celebrates the first public tastings of each year's freshly matured Georgian wine each May, marking the opposite end of the annual production cycle from Georgia's autumn harvest festivals. Organised with wine industry associations, it centres on tastings of that year's new vintage alongside discussion of the qvevri fermentation process distinctive to Georgian winemaking.

New Wine Festival celebrates the first tastings of each year's freshly fermented Georgian wine each May, a specifically seasonal celebration distinct from Georgia's autumn wine festivals timed around the harvest itself.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Where Georgia's autumn wine festivals mark the harvest and start of fermentation, New Wine Festival marks the opposite point in the same annual cycle, the moment qvevri-fermented wine has matured enough for its first proper public tasting, giving the country's wine calendar two distinct seasonal touchpoints rather than one

02

The mystery stays covered

Its May timing reflects the practical realities of qvevri production, months of fermentation and ageing in buried clay vessels, rather than an arbitrary festival date, giving the event genuine technical grounding in the production process itself

Traditions & symbols

The language of the festival.

What moves first
