Georgian Wine in London: Where to Drink It Right Now
22nd May 2026
London’s Georgian wine scene has changed over the last few years. What used to be limited to features in a few diaspora shops and restaurants has become something far more interesting: modern takes on Georgian cuisine, Racha featured next to Jura, Michelin-level sommeliers listing amber wines, and neighbourhood restaurants treating Saperavi as casually as Cabernet Sauvignon.
From Hackney to Kensington, Peckham to Islington, there are now places across London where a good selection of Georgian wine is available and served generously.
