Ajara is one of the oldest centres of viticulture and winemaking, which is confirmed by material monuments and ethnographic materials related to the branch of agriculture. It should be noted that the archaeological monuments of Ajara are rich in archaeological materials related to viticulture and winemaking since the late Bronze Age.
The events of the end of the 7th century and the end of the 6th century led to an upswing in viticulture in antiquity Kolhis was actively involved in the significant Greek colonisation. For the study of viticulture and winemaking in ancient Ajara, there is a wealth of information about the settlement of Pichvnari and about Kolhis and Greek cemeteries (vessels for tableware, agricultural use and wine transit). Among the artefacts, the red figurine craters (used for mixing wine and water, occupy a special place) created by famous artists, occupy a special place.
Winegrowing and winemaking in Ajara have had a particularly interesting and complex history since the 17th century. From the 1960s onwards, the Ottomans conquered the area in south-west Georgia and attempted to establish their own government. The Ottoman regime banned the production and use of wine in accordance with Islamic laws.
Various types of vineyards have been identified and studied in the Aara region (Chakvi, Chaisubani, Kapnistavi, Zesofeli, Sindieti, Ortsva, Akhalsheni, Makho, Zundaga, Makhuntseti, Koromkheti, etc.) A separate research topic is the indigenous grape varieties characteristic of Ajara.
wine plays a special role in Christian worship, and vine and grape motifs occupy a dominant place in church architecture and carving. It should be noted that woodcarvers in Ajara continued to depict grapevines on bowls even after the conversion to Islam.
