May 10 | 11:00 – 18:00 | Mtatsminda Park, Tbilisi
The New Wine Festival returns for its sixteenth year on May 10, 2025, once again hosted at the scenic Mtatsminda Park. This annual celebration is organized by the Georgian Wine Club, with the support of the Ministry of Environmental Protection and Agriculture of Georgia, the National Wine Agency, and information partner “Marani” (vinoge.com). Additional support comes from Mtatsminda Park and the wine shop chain 8000 Mosavali.
Since its inception in 2010, the New Wine Festival has grown steadily, welcoming more family wineries and wine companies each year. Its mission remains the same: to promote traditional Georgian qvevri wine, uncover new grape varieties and regions, elevate wine education, and nurture a culture of informed wine consumption.
The festival draws not only winemakers and wine lovers, but also international wine professionals, including sommeliers, importers, wine writers, and wine bar and restaurant representatives. Many of them now mark their calendars in advance to explore the latest Georgian wines.
As tradition dictates, the festival will begin with the ceremonial opening of a qvevri, featuring a wine selected by the Georgian Wine Club—typically one of the finest from a family cellar.
From 11:00 to 18:00, guests will have the chance to taste wines from across Georgia’s diverse regions. Participating this year are:
71 wine companies
11 small entrepreneurs
2 wine-related companies
84 family wineries, selected through a rigorous application process
Altogether, 168 participants will showcase their 2024 harvest wines in individual tents, offering a unique opportunity to discover fresh vintages and connect directly with the people behind the wines.
Whether you're a seasoned wine enthusiast or simply curious to learn more about Georgia’s ancient wine traditions, the New Wine Festival promises a memorable and flavorful experience.
