Georgian Wine Bar in Prague: A Taste of Qvevri & Amber Wines

Georgian Wine Bar in Prague: A Taste of Qvevri & Amber Wines

If you are searching for a unique wine experience, a Georgian wine bar in Prague is the perfect discovery. Georgian wine has a history stretching back more than 8,000 years and continues to be produced using traditional methods that cannot be found anywhere else in the world. At Vazi Prague, we are proud to introduce guests to Georgia’s ancient wine culture through carefully selected bottles and thoughtful food pairings.

Why Georgian Wine is Different

Georgia is widely recognized as the birthplace of wine. Archaeological evidence shows that wine was being produced in Georgia around 6,000 BC. What makes Georgian wine unique is not only the history but the technique used to make it.

Qvevri — Wine Made in Clay Vessels

One of the most iconic methods of Georgian winemaking is the use of qvevri — large clay vessels buried underground. Grapes ferment with their skins and seeds, producing deep, structured wines with naturally rich flavor and beautiful color. This is particularly true for the famous amber wines, which have a golden, honey-like tone.

At our Georgian wine bar in Prague, we feature qvevri wines from respected producers in Kakheti, Imereti and other wine regions of Georgia.

Amber Wine — The Signature of Georgian Tradition

Amber wine is sometimes called “white wine made like red wine.” The grapes ferment with the skins, creating texture, color and complex aroma. Amber wine pairs especially well with dishes that combine herbs, walnuts and grilled meats — a natural match for Georgian cuisine.

Grape Varieties You Will Find at Vazi Prague

Georgia has over 500 native grape varieties. Some of the most well-known available at our Georgian wine bar in Prague include:

• Rkatsiteli – Classic, structured amber wine with herbal and floral notes.
• Saperavi – Deep, dark red wine with bold flavor and rich tannins.
• Tsolikouri – Light and refreshing white wine with subtle fruit notes.
• Kindzmarauli – Naturally semi-sweet red wine with dark berry flavor.

Each reflects Georgia’s diverse landscapes and ancient wine philosophy.

Pairing Georgian Wine with Food

Wine in Georgia is not meant to be separate from food — they belong together. Here are some recommended pairings available at Vazi Prague:

• Adjaruli Khachapuri + Rkatsiteli Amber
• Khinkali + Saperavi
• Pkhali & Salads + Tsolikouri
• Grilled Shashlik + Saperavi Reserve

Our staff is always happy to recommend the best pairing for your meal.

The Supra — Georgian Wine Celebrated

In Georgia, wine is more than a drink — it is part of a tradition called the “supra,” a shared feast led by a toastmaster known as the “tamada.” Toasts celebrate life, friendship, family, memory and joy. Visiting our Georgian wine bar in Prague is a chance to experience a little of this cultural spirit.

What Makes Georgian Wine Special?

Georgia is widely recognized as the birthplace of wine. Archaeologists have traced winemaking here back over 8,000 years. While the world changed, the core principles of Georgian winemaking stayed remarkably the same. This continuity means that enjoying Georgian wine in Prague today is also a connection to millennia of history, craftsmanship and celebration.

Unlike many European wines that focus on vineyard location or barrel aging, Georgian wine relies on ancient grape varieties, natural fermentation and deep respect for tradition. The result is wine that feels alive, expressive and full of character.

Qvevri Wine — The Heart of Georgian Winemaking

The defining feature of Georgian wine is the use of qvevri — large, hand-shaped clay vessels buried underground. At our Georgian wine bar in Prague, we pour qvevri wines that are fermented with the skins and seeds, allowing the wine to develop structure, complexity and warmth.

Qvevri winemaking is recognized by UNESCO as part of the world’s intangible cultural heritage. When you taste qvevri wine at Vazi Prague, you are tasting a method that has remained unchanged since ancient times.

Amber Wine — A Signature of Georgia

Amber wine, also called “orange wine,” is one of the most expressive styles of Georgian wine. Despite its unique color, it is technically a white wine fermented like a red wine. The skins give the wine:

• Deep golden amber color
• Rich floral and earthy aromas
• Velvety texture
• Naturally balanced acidity

Our Georgian wine bar in Prague features several amber wines selected directly from small Georgian producers. These wines pair beautifully with both traditional Georgian dishes and dishes from Central Europe.

Wine Varieties You Will Discover at Vazi Prague

Georgia is home to more than 500 unique grape varieties. Some of our guest favorites include:

• Rkatsiteli – Crisp, structured amber wine with herbal and floral tones.
• Saperavi – Deep, dark dry red wine, ideal for grilled meat and savory dishes.
• Tsolikouri – Light, refreshing white wine with a clean and smooth finish.
• Kindzmarauli – Naturally semi-sweet red wine with ripe berry notes.

These wines reflect Georgia’s landscapes — from the mountain valleys of Kakheti to the lush green hills of Imereti.

The Georgian Supra — Wine Shared with Purpose

Wine in Georgia is not just a drink. It is part of the “supra,” a ceremonial feast that celebrates life, family, memory and joy. The host, known as the “tamada,” offers toasts that honor love, peace and friendship. When you visit our Georgian wine bar in Prague, you will feel this tradition in the atmosphe
