How this list is chosen: Bars with an exceptional wine program, an extensive list, a Wine Spectator award or a natural-wine focus, listed alphabetically. Updated October 8, 2026.
Kancellaria
A candlelit natural wine bar positioned steps from the Georgian Chancellery on Pavle Ingorokva Street, Kancellaria arrives at a moment when Tbilisi's wine scene is drawing serious international attention. The format pairs European food with a natural wine selection inside an intimate, low-lit interior, placing it squarely within the city's growing cohort of specialist wine-focused rooms.
Poliphonia
Poliphonia occupies a brick-vaulted sous-terrain on Chonkadze Street, sitting far enough from Tbilisi's tourist circuits to retain the unhurried rhythm that defines the city's best neighbourhood restaurants. The atmospheric interior rewards visitors who seek out Georgian dining on local terms rather than in tourist-facing venues.
Saamuri
Exceptional wine program
Saamuri operates inside Fabrika, Tbilisi's converted Soviet sewing factory turned creative hub on Egnate Ninoshvili Street. The venue sits within a multi-use compound of restaurants, bars, shops, and a hostel that has become a gathering point for the city's younger creative class. It is less a destination bar than a neighbourhood fixture — one that reflects how Tbilisi's social life has reorganised around repurposed industrial space.
Sulico
In Tbilisi's historic Vera district, Sulico has established itself as a reference point for natural and conventional wine in the Georgian capital, drawing both locals and visiting drinkers who know what they're looking for. The bar sits at 27 Mikheil Zandukeli Street and pairs a considered drinks list with a food programme that treats wine as the primary lens. A few years of operation have made it a fixture rather than a novelty.
Vino Underground
A brick-lined cellar bar on Galaktion Tabidze Street, Vino Underground operates as a collective owned by Georgian artisan winemakers — making it less a wine bar and more a direct channel to the country's natural wine movement. Alongside peers like 8000 Vintages and Poliphonia, it sits at the centre of Tbilisi's low-intervention wine scene, where the pour reflects the producer rather than a buyer's list.
