15 Best Wine Bars in Tbilisi

Amber and qvevri, natural bottles from small producers and tastings with the winemaker: the 15 Tbilisi wine bars we'd send you to, and what to order at each.

  1. 1

    Crossroads Bistro

  2. 2

    8000 Vintages

  3. 3

    Dadi Wine Bar

Mariam Beridze, Food & Drinks Editor

Wine isn't a night out in Tbilisi so much as the thing that happens while the night goes on. These 15 are for the glass after work that becomes a bottle, the friend who wants to understand qvevri in one sitting, and the dinner built to keep up with what's in the glass. There are wine shops you can drink in, natural wine rooms, a winery's own bar, a family cellar and a few places that do cocktails too.

Almost all of them sit in Old Tbilisi, several a few streets apart, so 2 or 3 in an evening is a walk rather than a plan. Drink amber while you're here: white grapes left on their skins in a buried qvevri, and the style you'll struggle to find at home. The small rooms fill up at the weekend, so ring ahead. The list runs 1 to 15, best first.

#1. Crossroads Bistro -

Perfect for

  • Wine with dinner
  • Meeting friends
  • Solo at the bar

Order a glass first and decide about dinner later. It's a casual, cosy bistro on Shalva Dadiani in Sololaki with a bar on site, so wine, sparkling and beer sit on the menu beside the coffee. One reviewer came in for a drink and got a long talk about wine instead. Small plates keep a table going, so come when one of you wants wine and the other a filter coffee. It's open 10 AM to 11 PM daily, and Google's range puts a visit at 20 to 30 GEL.

Known for: Order the draniki. These potato pancakes come up in more Google reviews here than anything else on the menu, 7 mentions against 6 for the pâté. Hummus and falafel do the sharing work, and the beef cheeks are what to order if a glass of wine has quietly turned into dinner. If the glass only needs 1 plate beside it, make it the pâté.

#2. 8000 Vintages -

Perfect for

  • Wine tasting
  • Taking a bottle home

Tell the staff your budget and let them go looking. That's the move at 8000 Vintages, a wine shop and bar on Revaz Tabukashvili where sommeliers work the floor in front of a list one reviewer counts at around 2,000 wines. Food boards come paired to whatever you land on, and the self-pour machines add about 16 more by the glass, paid by chip card afterwards. Google puts a visit at 20 to 80 GEL. It's open 11 AM to 1 AM daily, and tables go, so book one.

Known for: Order a board to go with whatever they pour you: the Georgian one is bread, cheeses and dips, and the ham and cheese platter is the plainer one. Ask for amber, the style the shop leads with in autumn. Its Instagram pairs the ice cream it scoops with sparkling and tannic reds, a stranger finish to a wine night than you had planned.

#3. Dadi Wine Bar -

Perfect for

  • Sitting outside
  • Bringing the dog
  • Breakfast and wine

The wine here has a farmer attached to it. Dadi is a Sololaki wine bar and shop built on artisan Georgian producers working with minimal intervention, and staff pour samples before you pick a bottle. The kitchen cooks small and large plates from fresh local ingredients, and breakfast runs all day. There's outdoor seating, dogs are allowed, and the bar was rehoming 6 kittens on Instagram in July. Come here when the afternoon has no plan: it opens at 10 AM, 2 PM on Monday, and runs to 1 AM.

Known for: Start on a white, work through the ambers and finish on a red: that's the route one table's server built, and the same night ran duck, then muhammara with bread, then the pear Charlotte with stracciatella and caramel. Local chacha sits on the same shelf. If the bottle works, buy it on the way out, because the shop is the same room.

#4. Nino Meris Wine Selection -

Perfect for

  • Learning about wine
  • Cheese and wine

The first thing the staff ask is what you usually like, and the answer decides the glasses that follow. The shop and bar on Sioni Street, by the church, carries Georgian winemaker Nino Meris's name, and the pours come with the region, the grape and the fermentation explained in fluent English. Come here when you want Georgia's 8,000-year wine story told to you rather than read off a back label. It's open 11 AM to 12:30 AM daily, and the room is small, so book a table when it rains.

Known for: Take the tasting, not a single glass: one reviewer's ran to 5 wines plus a chacha, and there are shorter 3-glass sets. The shelf covers qvevri and amber, from a Tezi Mtsvane made the traditional way to an oak-aged Aleksandrouli from Racha and an Otskhanuri Sapere from Imereti. Get the cheese platter down first, then let the tasting go where it goes.

#5. Vino Underground -

Perfect for

  • Trying natural wine
  • Big groups

One reviewer stumbled in by chance and left knowing this was the first bar in Tbilisi built around natural wine. It's a short walk from Liberty Square, with seating outside and dogs allowed. New management arrived in spring 2026, and the staff still open bottle after bottle so you can taste before you choose. Come here early rather than late: it runs 3 to 11 PM, or 4 PM to midnight on Friday and Saturday.

Known for: Small-producer Georgian natural wine, region by region, poured by the glass or sold by the bottle. The food comes from small Georgian producers too, which makes a plate and a glass a reasonable dinner. Drinks were 16.50 GEL in August 2026. A group of 17 took the whole bar for a private lunch in May, so ask if your table is that size.

#6. Wine Not? -

Perfect for

  • Live music
  • Wine on a budget

Photo: Google Maps

A bar where a visit runs 10 to 20 GEL on Google's range, and the staff still walk you through what's in the glass. Wine Not? is a small wine bar and shop on Vasil Petriashvili, and the Google topics are all about the person pouring: kind host 8 times, wine advice 8, friendly staff 42. Live performances are on the listing, dogs are allowed, and it's open 3 PM to 1 AM daily. Reservations are listed as required, so message ahead rather than turning up with 6 people.

Known for: Order the Georgian cheese board and let the host build the wines around it. Burki's Kisi, a qvevri Kisi, is the bottle that 2 different reviews name as the recommendation of the night. Bottles go home as well as onto the table, and there are cocktails if someone in your group has had enough wine, which does happen.

#7. Kancellaria Natural Wine Bar -

Perfect for

  • Dinner and wine
  • Late drinks
  • Eating solo

Some wine bars keep the food to olives and a cheese plate. Kancellaria would rather sell you a schnitzel, which comes up 15 times in the Google topics, more often than Georgian wine. It's a small room on Pavle Ingorokva, flagged on its listing for the wine list and marked LGBTQ+ friendly and a transgender safe space. Dogs are allowed and there's a resident cat. Seating is limited and weekends book out, so reserve: it opens at 4 PM and runs to 1 AM, 2 AM on Friday and Saturday.

Known for: Order the chicken schnitzel and a glass of the Georgian pet-nat, which one reviewer rates among the best they've had anywhere. Portions are big, the cheese plate covers anyone who only came to drink, and there are cocktails if wine isn't the plan. Google puts a night here at 20 to 60 GEL, which covers the schnitzel and enough wine to argue about it.

#8. Tbileli -

Perfect for

  • Georgian food and wine
  • Trying amber wine

The wine is homemade and so, more or less, is the room. Tbileli is a family-run bar and restaurant on Abo Tbileli, where the mother cooks and the son runs the floor, and antiques come up 12 times in the Google topics: paintings, vintage objects, a semi-basement full of them, and a terrace if you'd rather sit outside. Natural and amber wine, homemade chacha and cocktails share the list with Georgian and European plates. Come here when dinner is meant to last. It's open 10 AM to 11:30 PM daily.

Known for: Order the amber wine, and the chacha is homemade too: the Google topics count homemade wine 20 times, amber wine 7 and chacha 7. Khachapuri gets 9 mentions, and one table went for the beans in a clay pot and the chashushuli, a beef and tomato stew. The dachshund turns up in 14 reviews and will find your table before the food does.

#9. Patara Dzagli -

Perfect for

  • Solo at the bar
  • A first wine tasting
  • Bringing your dog

Most Tbilisi wine lists assume you already know what you like. Patara Dzagli would rather walk you through it. It's a natural wine bar and shop on Kote Afkhazi, built on low-intervention bottles from small producers, and the sommelier comes up in 36 of its reviews. Georgian wines come up in 20 of them. Come when you want the Georgian wine lesson before the drive to Kakheti. Doors open at 4 PM every day, there are tables outside, and dogs are allowed in.

Known for: The tasting is the move: 4 wines for 30 GEL, each poured with a plain account of how it was made, amber wine included. The shelves hold rare bottles too, and one reviewer left with 8 of them, blaming customs limits for not carrying more. A cheese plate is about as far as the food goes. Ask what came in recently before you order a glass.

#10. Art Hub & Wine Bar -

Perfect for

  • Big groups
  • Board games
  • Live music nights

Photo: Google Maps

The owner runs this one himself, and you can hear it in the reviews before you taste anything: the friendly owner comes up 17 times. UHAB is a wine bar, art space and live music venue on Ivane Javakhishvili, and its own listing describes it as a cultural hub for expats. The programme is the draw as much as the list, with jazz and acoustic sets, history lectures, candlelit karaoke and board games on the shelf. Come with a group on a night something is on. It's closed Mondays and opens at 4 PM.

Known for: Homemade and local Georgian wine, alongside craft beer and comfort food the owner keeps simple. The rkatsiteli turns up in 6 reviews and local wine in 8. For food, one reviewer's instruction is the smoked suluguni with honey, and there is quiche. Mafia nights appear in 17 reviews and tabletop games in 11, so bring people who play.

#11. Vinissimo -

Perfect for

  • Sitting outside
  • Afternoon wine
  • Taking a bottle home

Photo: Google Maps

Old Town has a wine shop on every block, and most of them will only sell you a sealed bottle. Vinissimo pours the same bottles by the glass, qvevri wines included, from a room on Ioane Shavteli with a balcony and seats out on the street. 5 reviewers call the room cosy and 4 make a point of the outdoor tables. It opens at 12 PM, which makes it the rare wine bar you can use before evening. Food comes over from Balcony 12, the restaurant a few steps away.

Known for: Order a glass of something fermented in clay: qvevri wine is what 2 reviewers pick this place out for, and the staff will talk you through it. Samples come before you commit, and one reviewer who walked in knowing nothing tried several and left with 2 bottles. Khachapuri arrives from the restaurant next door if the glasses are winning. Tell them what you usually drink and let them choose.

#12. Laliashvilebi's Wine Cellar -

Perfect for

  • A supra with strangers
  • Khinkali masterclass
  • Big groups

Photo: Google Maps

This is not a bar you drop into for a quick glass. Laliashvilebi's is a family wine cellar in the basement of a house out in Isani-Samgori, and the evening runs as a supra: a long table shared with other people's groups, a live musician, toasts, and dancing once the toasts get going. 10 reviews reach for the word soulful. Come when you want the Georgian table rather than a wine list, and book ahead, because the price band starts at 100 GEL. One reviewer's only complaint was finding the address.

Known for: The wine is Ilia's own and it keeps arriving, chacha with it. His mother cooks: khachapuri comes up in 7 reviews, khinkali land on the same table, and she runs the masterclass, so you may fold your own before you eat them. Georgian music follows the food. Clear the whole evening and let someone else drive.

#13. Snobs -

Perfect for

  • Late drinks
  • Drinks on the balcony
  • Dinner and drinks

The name puts wine first. Its 482 reviews put cocktails first, 120 mentions against 44 for the wine selection, and you can settle the argument in one sitting. Snobs occupies a historic building on Galaktion Tabidze, under what its own listing calls a huge Zaha Hadid chandelier, with balconies that 9 reviewers single out. Doors open at 6 PM and stay open until 2 AM, 7 nights a week. Go after dinner, take a balcony seat, and let the bartender narrow things down.

Known for: Cocktails built on whatever the season hands the bar. Old Boy is strawberry and chili with vodka, grapefruit and almond liqueur; the spring list ran Chachagroni, spiced cherry with a coffee note. The wine side gets restocked hard, with 15 bottles joining the autumn menu and a Marlborough sauvignon blanc among them. One reviewer calls it very good value, so order the second round.

#14. Chateau Mukhrani Wine Bar -

Perfect for

  • Solo at the bar
  • Trying Georgian grapes
  • Stocking up on bottles

Drink here and you are drinking one producer's list from end to end. This is Château Mukhrani's own bar and shop on Samghebro, near the Gorgasali bridge, and reviewers come out of it naming grapes instead of labels: Mtsvane, Chardonnay, Guruli Mtsvane. Georgian wine varieties come up in 11 reviews and wine guidance in 5. It's open from 12 PM to midnight and takes bookings, and the winery itself is a 30 minute drive out of town if the glass convinces you.

Known for: Buy by the bottle here rather than by the glass. One reviewer was turned down for a 20 GEL glass on the grounds that nobody would open a bottle for it. A full bottle of white came to about 120 GEL, and the Reserve Royal Mtsvane is the Georgian varietal to spend it on. Ask the staff to pour you a sample first.

#15. Tone -

Perfect for

  • Sitting outside
  • Bringing your dog
  • Lunch with wine

Tone is the wine bar you use in daylight. It sits inside Fabrika on Ninoshvili, opens at 11 AM, stays open until midnight and lets you bring the dog and your own food to the table. The crowd is young, and lively spot is the phrase 2 reviews land on. The price band runs 10 to 60 GEL, which covers both a plate at lunch and a round at 11 PM. Service splits the reviews, so come on a day you aren't rushing.

Known for: Order the chicken sandwich, named in 4 reviews, more than anything else on a short menu. The salmon sandwich gets 2 mentions, and champignon soup, a cheese platter and pate fill out a list 2 reviewers call unique. Wine is homemade, and cocktails are the only thing the listing flags as a highlight: one reviewer's standing order is the Mai Tai. Take an outdoor table and let lunch turn into a second glass.

Frequently asked questions

What should I drink at a Tbilisi wine bar?

Amber wine: white grapes fermented on their skins in a qvevri, the clay vessel Georgian winemakers bury in the ground. One reviewer at Tbileli calls its homemade amber the best wine of their visit, and Nino Meris Wine Selection builds its tastings around amber, qvevri and indigenous grapes. If amber isn't for you, one reviewer at Patara Dzagli found a chilled alcohol-free wine there.

Where can I do a wine tasting in Tbilisi?

Nino Meris Wine Selection, where the tasting is the whole point and the listing invites you to drink with the winemaker behind the label. One reviewer took 5 wines plus chacha, picked after being asked what they like. Patara Dzagli poured one group 4 wines for 30 GEL, 11 reviews at Wine Not? name its tastings, and 8000 Vintages serves food at the bar to go with it.

Which Tbilisi wine bars pour natural wine?

Vino Underground, Kancellaria Natural Wine Bar, Patara Dzagli and Dadi Wine Bar & Shop, plus Tbileli, where 11 reviews mention natural wine. Patara Dzagli's own description puts the focus on natural and low-intervention bottles from small producers, and Dadi describes its Georgian wines as made with minimal intervention. One reviewer calls Vino Underground the first place in Tbilisi dedicated to natural wine.

How much does wine cost in a Tbilisi wine bar?

Google publishes a price band for 9 of these 15, and 6 of those start at 20 GEL a person. Wine Not? has the lowest band at 10 to 20 GEL, and Laliashvilebi's Wine Cellar the highest at 100 and up. One reviewer at 8000 Vintages found a bottle of mtsvane under 50 GEL and saw others at 20 and at 120, so the range inside one room is wide.

Do I need to book a table at a Tbilisi wine bar?

At Wine Not? yes, because its Google listing marks reservations as required. 3 reviewers at Kancellaria Natural Wine Bar tell you to book ahead, since the room is small and fills up at the weekend, and 2 at 8000 Vintages say to reserve before you turn up, which its own site lets you do. 8 of the 15 take bookings at all, so elsewhere, get there early.

What time do wine bars close in Tbilisi?

11 of the 15 close between midnight and 1 AM. 8000 Vintages, Dadi Wine Bar & Shop and Wine Not? pour until 1 AM every night, Nino Meris Wine Selection until 12:30 AM, and Kancellaria Natural Wine Bar until 2 AM on Fridays and Saturdays. Snobs Wine & Cocktails doesn't open until 6 PM and runs to 2 AM. Vino Underground shuts at 11 PM from Sunday to Thursday, so start the night there.

Can I buy a bottle to take home?

Yes, at 7 of the 15, which Google files as a wine store as well as a bar: 8000 Vintages, Dadi Wine Bar & Shop, Nino Meris Wine Selection, Wine Not?, Patara Dzagli and Snobs Wine & Cocktails among them. Dadi's own description invites you to take a bottle home afterwards, and one reviewer at Vinissimo tasted several before buying 2.
