ABOUT GEORGIAN WINE
Nestled at the crossroads of Europe and Asia, Georgia is a treasure trove for wine enthusiasts, boasting an unparalleled viticultural heritage that dates back over 8,000 years—making it one of the oldest wine-producing regions in the world.
Georgian wine is not just a beverage; it’s a vibrant tapestry woven with history, culture, and tradition. The country’s unique fermentation method in qvevri—large clay vessels buried underground—infuses these wines with distinctive flavors and character you cannot find elsewhere.
With over 500 indigenous grape varieties flourishing in this fertile soil, every bottle offers a glimpse into Georgia’s diverse terroir—from crisp whites to bold reds—the spectrum is nothing short of breathtaking!
We’re excited to introduce you to Georgian wine. It embodies not merely taste but also our history and culture. Share it with us.

EXCELLENT Based on 10 reviews Posted on Jillian B.Verified My husband and I finally had the opportunity to check out Saperavi... and boy oh boy was it worth it! We got the eggplant rolls, adjaruli, and crispy pork ribs. Eggplant rolls were smaller than expected, however the walnut sauce was so rich that we felt it was the perfect starter. The adjaruli is probably my favorite that I've had in the city.. cheesy and rich, and the bread was perfectly crunchy around the edges. By the time the ribs came we were stuffed, but they were delicious. It was a lot of food so we did end up taking some leftovers home, but it was super delicious!Posted on Debbie F.Verified Food: My friend and I shared the megruli khachapuri and the shkmeruli. Both were absolutely delicious. The latter was outstanding. I was only visiting town for a few days, but have already told my friend that I want to go back! Ambience: Even for a bistro, the tables seemed crammed together too much, but maybe that's just how it is during the very cold weather; there's room to expand in a covered outdoor section. But it's overall a small place, tight fit. Service: Extremely good. Wait staff very attentive and pleasant.Posted on Chelsea G.Verified Sergio is a fantastic waiter, we loved his attentiveness, his kindness, the conversation that he made with us. It was our first time tasting Georgian food and it really added to our experience. We learned more about the food and its beginnings, and we enjoyed how the food tasted. Would go here again !!Posted on Wendy S.Verified Fantastic food, even better than Chama Mama. Lovely staff. Try their cheese breads and request their house-made hot sauce.Posted on Jake B.Verified Really fantastic Georgian food we found on a whim. The staff were super friendly and attentive. The khachapuri was truly delicious, and so were the beef dumplings. We loved the eggplant salad as well. Would return in a heartbeat!Posted on Casey W.Verified - personable staff, was very helpful when ordering since it was our first time having Georgian food - come starving, the portions are generous and very hearty; great for a cold winter meal - bring all your cheese loving friends, i don't think i've ever eaten that much cheese in one sitting before - I wish the khachapuri had higher dough to cheese ratio but both were amazing - I absolutely love that every culture has their own take on dumplings, so of course we had to try their khinkali. being asian, the dough was too thick for me, I'd likely pass on these the next time just because there are so many other things I'd like to try on their menuPosted on Ghizlane A.Verified Georjan is awesome! Cozy, welcoming, and the food is next-level delicious. Highly recommend! Georjan is awesome! Cozy, welcoming, and the food is next-level delicious. Highly recommend!Posted on Soumya D.Verified Amazing Khachapuri. The food was phenomenal and the portions were massive. We definitely over ordered haha!! We were seated at the bar and were given the best service from the staff at Saperavi. Many of the menu items are vegetarian friendly too which is a huge bonus. Can't wait to come back and check out more of their dishes!Posted on Sandra D.Verified Food was amazing and so was our waiter, Tato, at this great new Georgian gem stop. A great new Georgian gem on the UES!Posted on Alyssa N.Verified Wonderful service, food was fantastic. So happy this gem opened right on my block! Back patio and indoor vibes are great.
