Why Georgian Wine Is the Hidden Gem Your Tastebuds Are Missing

At Chito Gvrito, we’re more than a Georgian cuisine restaurant—we’re storytellers. And one of Georgia’s greatest stories is its wine. Known as the cradle of winemaking, Georgia’s 8,000-year-old tradition lives on in every bottle we pour. Bold, earthy, and unlike anything else, Georgian wine is the perfect partner to our richly layered Georgian menu—and it’s finally getting the spotlight it deserves in Manhattan, NY.

A Tradition Buried in Clay

Long before France or Italy became wine capitals, Georgians were crafting wine in qvevris—large clay vessels buried underground to ferment and age. This ancient method creates a raw, natural wine with unmistakable texture and complexity. At our Georgian restaurant in Manhattan, NY, you’ll find qvevri-aged selections that honor that timeless process.

Perfect Pairings for Bold Flavors

Georgian food doesn’t shy away from flavor, and neither does our wine list. Dry whites like Rkatsiteli cut through the richness of khachapuri, while the inky, tannic Saperavi elevates skewers and stews with deep plum notes. Our staff is happy to guide you through the perfect pairing on our carefully curated Georgian menu.

The Rise of Georgian Wine Culture in NYC

As natural wine trends grow, Georgian wine is stepping into the spotlight. But for us, it’s never been a trend—it’s our heritage. At Chito Gvrito, we’re proud to bring this cultural staple to the Georgian menu in a way that feels both fresh and faithful.

A Toast to Experience

When you dine with us, you’re not just enjoying great food and drink—you’re sharing in centuries of Georgian hospitality. Raise a glass, try something new, and toast to a journey your tastebuds will never forget.
