ZERO COMPROMISE 2026

ZERO COMPROMISE — bigger scale, new venue

For many years, ZERO COMPROMISE has been the leading and largest natural wine festival in Georgia, annually bringing together wine lovers, importers, and industry professionals.

This year, the festival will once again take place in Tbilisi, but in a completely new multifunctional space — on the territory of “Radio City” located in the Gldani district.

Over the years, “Zero” has become the main platform for the export of Georgian natural wine. At the festival, wine importers and Georgian winemakers hold negotiations and conclude deals related to the export of new vintage wines abroad.

Against the backdrop of a global decline in wine sales, the organizer of ZERO COMPROMISE — the Natural Wine Association — together with its member Georgian winemakers, is striving to maintain its position on the international market, which represents a significant challenge.

Traditionally, prior to ZERO COMPROMISE, “wine tours” with closed tastings will be organized across various regions of Georgia, hosted at the wineries of members of the Natural Wine Association. These tours are initiated by the Association specifically for invited foreign importers, distributors, and other key representatives of the wine world. The project has been running for the third consecutive year, helping importers and wine professionals taste Georgian natural wines in comfortable settings and get to know the winemakers more closely.

ZERO COMPROMISE is also attended by representatives of wine bars and restaurants from Tbilisi and other cities of Georgia, who have the opportunity to personally meet participating winemakers and discuss future cooperation.

At ZERO COMPROMISE 2026, alongside Georgian wineries that are members of the Natural Wine Association, international wineries will also take part. The presence of foreign winemakers has already become a tradition of the festival, giving it a strong international character. Interested foreign winemakers will once again have the opportunity to submit an application and await the organizers’ response (see link).

The main goals of ZERO COMPROMISE are:

• promotion of Georgian natural wine on local and international markets, which is also a key priority of the festival’s supporter, the National Wine Agency of Georgia;

• raising wine culture awareness among consumers and introducing the distinctive qualities of high-quality, traditional products;

• development of wine tourism.

The ZERO COMPROMISE festival is organized by the Natural Wine Association with the support of the National Wine Agency of Georgia. Participation is limited to member wineries of the Association, as well as selected international natural wine producers chosen by the Association.
