13 February | Georgian Wine Tasting

Join us at theLAB Porto on Friday, February 13, for an exploration of Georgian viticulture led by someone who bridges the gap between the Caucasus and the Douro.

Gio Chezhia, founder of Aghora Wines, will be our guest winemaker for the evening. While Gio’s roots are in Georgia, he has spent the last several years in Portugal collaborating with industry leaders like Luis Cerdeira and Antonio Macanita.

This session offers a rare chance to taste through the ancient traditions of Georgia—the birthplace of wine—guided by a winemaker who understands both the local terroir of his home and the technical precision of Portuguese winemaking.

The Lineup

We aren’t holding back. We will be pouring nine distinct wines, covering the full spectrum of Georgian styles:

• Whites: Gvaladze Tsolikouri and Baia Krakhuna.

• Amber (Orange): Topuridze Mtsvane/Rkatsiteli, Okro Rkatsiteli, and Iago Chinuri.

• Reds: Topuridze Saperavi and Ori Marani Shavkapito.

• Sparkling: A Mamastan blend Pet-Nat and a traditional method Ori Marani Laora Rosé.

• The Perk: Your ticket includes a 10€ credit toward the purchase of any Georgian wine featured at the event.

Pre-Order & Save Your Favorites

Georgian wines are produced in small quantities and often sell out quickly. To ensure you don’t miss out on your favorite bottles from the lineup, we are opening a pre-order window. Use your €10 credit early and guarantee your stash is ready for pickup at the event.

Secure Your Spot

To keep the conversation intimate and ensure everyone gets a chance to engage with Gio, we are keeping the seating strictly limited.
