Wineland — Wine in Tbilisi, Georgia

In short

Wineland is a Tbilisi-based wine business at 3, Davit Gamrekeli Street that works, in its own words, “directly with wineries across Georgia, from family cellars in mountain villages to producers giving old traditions new life.” Rather than farming its own vineyard, Wineland operates as a curated online wine shop and education hub, selling bottles from some 34 partner wineries and running “Wineland Academy,” a self-guided introduction to Georgian wine regions, grapes and protected designations of origin (PDOs). The company states it covers Kakheti, Kartli, Imereti and Racha-Lechkhumi, and that its catalogue runs to more than 200 wines, from classic European-method bottlings to qvevri-aged amber and red wines, sparkling wines, chacha and curated gift boxes.

The estate and its history

Wineland itself does not state a founding year or a personal founder’s story on its website; it presents itself as a platform built around partner producers rather than a single estate. For context, the site’s featured and linked winery pages give a picture of the traditions Wineland draws on, with individual histories stretching from the Soviet-era plantings of the 1970s to very recent additions. The dates below come from the separate partner-winery pages on wineland.ge, not from a single Wineland company history.

• 1970 – Rkatsiteli and Saperavi vines are planted in Kurdgelauri, Telavi district, on the plot that later becomes the old vineyard of partner producer Archil’s Wine.
• 1994 – Twin brothers Gia and Gela Gamtkitsulashvili restore their family’s 18th-century cellar in Napareuli, Kakheti, and become, according to their own account, the first in modern Georgia to commercially bottle a qvevri wine, founding Twins Wine House.
• 2004 – Georgian Vine and Wine, the company behind the “8000 History” brand, is founded in the village of Velistsikhe, Kakheti.
• 2010–2011 – Archil’s Wine acquires and begins restoring the 1970 vineyard, founding its cellar in 2011.
• 2013 – UNESCO inscribes the traditional qvevri winemaking method as Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, a milestone referenced on the Twins Wine House page.
• 2016 – 8000 History says it expands into aging brandy spirits.
• 2021 – 8000 History begins construction of a Château complex in Kvareli, planned to include cellars, restaurants, a hotel and a swimming pool.

Wineland’s own role, as described on its site, is to represent such producers to buyers in Georgia and abroad, and to explain the country’s “8,000 years of history” of winemaking to newcomers through its Academy pages.

Vineyards, grapes and method

Wineland does not claim vineyard holdings of its own. Instead, it lists partner wineries by region: 24 in Kakheti, 5 in Kartli, 2 in Imereti and 2 in Racha-Lechkhumi, for a stated total of 34. Through these partners, the catalogue spans both qvevri fermentation — the clay-vessel method in which juice, skins and sometimes stems macerate together, as practised by Twins Wine House, Ikalto Winery, Jobava Winery, Gulordava Family Winery, Sherekilebi, Marani Khazhalia and others — and classical European vinification in steel or oak, used for labels such as the 8000 History range and several Ambrosia Winery wines.

Grape varieties named across the site include the whites Rkatsiteli, Mtsvane (Kakhuri and Goruli), Kisi, Khikhvi, Tsolikouri, Chinuri and Chardonnay, and the reds Saperavi, Aleksandrouli, Usakhelouri and Cabernet Franc. Individual partner pages give some vineyard detail: Archil’s Wine farms 2.24 hectares in the Tsinandali microzone at 510 metres on the slopes of Mount Tsiv-Gombori, of which 0.84 hectares are the original 1970 plantings; Twins Wine House holds 15 hectares in Napareuli, including 3 hectares certified organic, and keeps 135 qvevri on site, the largest with a capacity of five tonnes; 8000 History says it sources exclusively from its own vineyards across Kakheti’s microzones and works with a collection of more than 130 Georgian grape varieties.

Wineland’s own range runs to more than 200 bottlings; the examples below are drawn directly from named products described on the site.

Visiting

The material published by Wineland describes an online retail operation and an educational “Academy” section on its website, organised around regions, grapes and PDOs. It does not set out opening hours, a tasting-room programme, cellar tours or booking details for the Davit Gamrekeli Street address. Travellers wanting an on-site tasting or vineyard visit are better served by the individual partner wineries named on the site, several of which describe their own estates and cellars in Kakheti, though actual visiting arrangements for those wineries are likewise not spelled out in the material supplied here.

Food and stays

Wineland’s own pages make no mention of a restaurant, café or guesthouse at its Tbilisi address. Among its partners, 8000 History says it is building a Château complex in Kvareli that is planned to include two traditional Georgian cellars, restaurants, underground cellars, a hotel, a swimming pool and spaces for Georgian cuisine masterclasses; this project, described as begun in 2021, belongs to the partner winery rather than to Wineland itself.

Awards

Wineland’s own site does not list awards for the company. Among its partners, Archil’s Wine states it has received: Gold at Galicia Vitis (2020 and 2022); Silver at the International Wine and Spirit Competition (2022, 91 points); 92 points from Decanter (2020); and Silver at the Georgia International Wine Award (2023).

Location and getting there

Wineland’s address is 3, Davit Gamrekeli Street, Tbilisi. The street lies in the Saburtalo district, a largely residential and commercial part of the city on the slopes west of the Mtkvari river, a short taxi or metro ride from central Tbilisi (Saburtalo’s metro stations include Delisi and Vazha-Pshavela). The supplied material does not give a precise walking or driving time from the city centre or from any particular landmark, so visitors should confirm the exact route and transport time before travelling. As an online shop with a citywide delivery focus, Wineland can be combined with visits to Tbilisi’s Old Town wine bars and shops, or treated as a stop for picking up bottles before or after day trips to the Kakheti wine region, home to most of the partner wineries it lists.

Questions travellers ask

Is Wineland a winery you can tour, or a shop?

Based on its own published material, Wineland functions as an online wine shop and educational platform in Tbilisi, selling wines from partner producers across Georgia. It does not present itself on its site as a vineyard with its own tasting room or cellar tours.

Can I taste wine at the Davit Gamrekeli Street address?

The company’s website does not describe a tasting programme, opening hours or booking process for this address, so travellers wanting a guided tasting should check directly with Wineland or consider visiting one of its partner wineries in Kakheti instead.

What kinds of Georgian wine does Wineland sell?

Its catalogue covers both qvevri-fermented wines, made using the traditional clay-vessel method recognised by UNESCO as Intangible Cultural Heritage, and wines made by classical European techniques in steel or oak. It spans dry, semi-dry, semi-sweet and sweet styles, amber (skin-contact) whites, rosés, reds and sparkling wines, plus chacha spirit.

Does Wineland ship wine internationally?

Wineland’s site does not state its own shipping policy, but several of its partner wineries say their wines are already exported to countries including Germany, France, Japan, Poland, Sweden, Denmark, England, Ukraine, Israel and China.

Can Wineland put together a gift box of Georgian wines?

Yes, the website lists ready-made wine boxes such as “Georgian Semi-Sweet,” “Qvevri Focus,” “Discover Georgia” and “Kakheti Classics,” each described as a curated selection of bottles for gifting or tasting.
