ZERO COMPROMISE has long been the leading natural wine festival in Georgia, annually uniting wine lovers, importers, and professionals from across the field. This year, the festival returns to Tbilisi in a brand-new, multifunctional venue: the vibrant Radio City complex in Gldani.
For years, ZERO COMPROMISE has served as the leading platform for showcasing Georgian natural wines to the world. The festival provides a vital meeting point where international importers and Georgian winemakers negotiate and secure export agreements for the latest harvests.
Amid a global decline in wine sales, the Natural Wine Association - the organizer of ZERO COMPROMISE - together with its member winemakers, continues to work diligently to safeguard Georgia’s position in international markets. This remains a significant and ongoing challenge.
As tradition dictates, wine tours will precede the festival, featuring closed tastings at member wineries of the Association across different regions of Georgia. Organized specifically for invited importers, distributors, and other key figures in the global wine industry, these tours offer a unique opportunity to experience Georgian natural wine in an intimate setting and to build direct connections with winemakers. Now in its third year, the project has become an essential bridge, allowing professionals and enthusiasts alike to discover Georgian natural wine under comfortable conditions while deepening their understanding of its makers.
ZERO COMPROMISE is not only a meeting point for Georgian wine professionals but also attracts representatives of wine bars and restaurants from Tbilisi and other cities across the country. These participants have the chance to engage directly with winemakers, fostering new collaborations and future partnerships.
Alongside Georgian wineries that are members of the Natural Wine Association, selected foreign producers will also take part in ZERO COMPROMISE 2026. The presence of international winemakers has become a tradition, adding a distinctly global dimension to the festival.
This year, foreign winemakers interested in joining the event can submit an application and await confirmation from the organizers (see the link).
The main goals of ZERO COMPROMISE are:
Promoting Georgian natural wine in both local and international markets - a priority also shared by the festival’s sponsor, the National Wine Agency of Georgia.
Raising wine culture among consumers by introducing them to the qualities of authentic, highquality, traditional products.
Developing wine tourism as a vital part of Georgia’s cultural and economic growth.
The festival is organized by the Natural Wine Association and supported by the National Wine Agency. Participation is limited to wineries that are members of the Association, along with selected foreign natural wine producers invited by the organizers.
