WinExpo Georgia is the biggest wine trade show in Georgia (country). In 2026 it ran from Friday, June 5th to Sunday, June 7th. Over 140 producers were represented. My top wines are below, and also you will find the official judging panel list (headed by Tim Atkin MW).
I managed to taste 354 wines, from 74 producers. Large and small, natural and not.
We had perfect weather, dry and not too hot with nice breezes!
The majority of wines tasted were rated “good” or “acceptable”. And by this, I mean wines that we can objectively say to have merit and enjoyable characteristics that make them successful. However, I’m not going to list all the wines, I’m only listing ones that I recommend. So the top end of good – or very good, or better.
I should be clear, that “good” really is good enough. These are wines you’d enjoy drinking. Getting a higher rating than “good” means producing a wine that stands out against all other wines tasted (above average), with better balance and relevant characteristics.
Some were rated “poor” or “faulty”. These are wines that would not be recommended at all (poor wines) or had suffered from wine faults such as volatile acidity, TCA (cork taint), volatile sulfur compounds, etc. at a level to make the wines unpalatable. Young wines with overly crazy tannins were excluded, even if they may be a lot better in a couple of years – there were a lot of these 2024 wines this year.
Though I try to be as objective as possible in these assessments, some things should be taken into account:
- Blind tasting was not possible so small biases may exist inadvertently.
- The tasting environment of a busy event is not ideal and some factors affect the tasting:
- Environmental odors – from people walking around with coffee to strong perfume, etc. In addition, surrounded by trees, BBQ (mtsvadi) smoke occasionally billowing past.
- Full rinsing of glasses between every tasting was impractical, though we tried as best as possible.
- It was relatively hot in the outdoor sections, and some wines couldn’t be served at the correct temperature, but I tried to account for this.
- I normally say “Let me taste your best 2 or 3”, rather than “hey, I like saperavi”, so a disproportionate number of better wines tasted, typically.
We only tasted a fraction of what was on offer. Some notes on that:
- Some winemakers were at festivals in May/June (Including Zero Compromise | New Wine Festival| Wine Ambassadors & Women in Wine | Bolnisi PDO Festival & Merano. So I did not repeat these. This means that some great winemakers who made those lists didn’t get re-tasted at Expo – Such as 39Qvevri, Peradze and more.
- I tried to balance between small, medium, and large producers.
- I did not taste every wine from each vendor tried.
- There were likely over 1000 wines available. I am only one human. Lol. 365 in 3 days was my record to date (that was in 2025). This year I had a bit less time on the Friday and Sunday and only made it to 354 (shock!). But did beat my personal record on the Saturday by tasting 135 wines! Spit buckets abound!
So, I definitely will have missed some excellent wines. But from what we did taste, I hope you will enjoy discovering some of the below which I gave upper category ratings.
Important Notes On The Official Release Of Award Winning Wines By Expo
An international panel of wine experts, led by MW Tim Atkin, rated a submitted selection of wines. The full awards list was posted on the Wine Expo Facebook page, and I have also included that full list below my list.
If you are not familiar with how the awards are set up, here are some notes that may interest you.
- As with previous years only wines that wineries pay to submit for judging are included in the panel. So the judging pool is made from wines that wineries believe have the best chance of an award.
- The panel is a wide selection of sommeliers, enologists and other wine experts from Georgia but also many international judges. Headed by MW Tim Atkin (UK).
- As multiple smaller wineries have told me, they don’t have the budget to submit numerous wines for assessment. Some small winemakers, who I did rate some of their wines highly in my scoring below, actually told me they submitted no wines this year at all.
- Award criteria this year as I know was 85-89 bronze, 90-94 silver, and 95-100 gold.
- There were a lot of wines I didn’t get to taste at all that won awards. There were a lot of wines I tasted that I know were not submitted.
- Thanks to the judges for their work and insights! As always, they are doing a stellar job!
My Rating System
Ratings are based on Balance / Length / Intensity / Complexity and Style (ie. how they fit within the category of the style/intention of the wine). A “very good” rating would be made when 3 to 4 of these criteria have been met successfully. Some consideration is given to young wines that have the potential to arrive at this level in an expected timeframe of aging.
I’m offering a simple statement of wines I consider above average, not giving a score out of 100.
There are many more wine festivals coming soon, and we intend to publish our favorites for those too.
Wine Expo Georgia, Tbilisi (Fri June 5th to Sun June 7th, 2026)
354 tastings, from 74 wineries (including 1 whisky).
In order of which I did the tastings, not in order of preference.
Most wines below achieved “very good” or better. But I’ve also included a few that were on the cusp from good to very good and also deserved a mention. Note my “personal top picks” were based on a more subjective bias of wine styles I love. But everything on the list in general I’ve rated as objectively as possible.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is WinExpo Georgia?
WinExpo Georgia is the biggest wine trade show in the country, bringing together producers large and small, natural and conventional. In 2026 over 140 producers were represented. It is the key annual event for discovering the breadth of what Georgian winemaking has to offer.
When and where did WinExpo Georgia 2026 take place?
WinExpo Georgia 2026 ran from Friday June 5th to Sunday June 7th in Tbilisi. It is held annually, so anyone planning to attend should check for the confirmed dates of the next edition. With well over 1,000 wines available, it is far more than one person can taste in the three days.
Who judges the wines at WinExpo Georgia?
The official awards are decided by an international panel of sommeliers, enologists and wine experts from Georgia and abroad, headed by Master of Wine Tim Atkin. Importantly, only wines that wineries pay to submit are judged, so the official list reflects wines producers chose to enter. Many excellent wines, particularly from smaller producers who do not submit, never appear on the awards list.
How do the WinExpo medals work?
For 2026 the award thresholds were 85 to 89 points for bronze, 90 to 94 for silver, and 95 to 100 for gold. Because judging only covers submitted wines, the medals are a useful guide but not a complete picture of everything poured at the event. Some superb wines we tasted were never submitted at all.
How are your top wine picks chosen, and how do they differ from the official awards?
Our picks come from wines we tasted ourselves and rated on balance, length, intensity, complexity and style, rather than a score out of 100. We only list wines we consider above average, the top end of good or better. Unlike the official panel, we are not limited to submitted wines, so our list and the official awards do not always overlap.
