Updating of vineyard cadastral data continues - National Wine Agency
Updating vineyard cadastral data is mandatory in the event of a change in vineyard ownership, vineyard cultivation, lease transfer, and other changes.
The updating of cadastral data is being carried out on-site in all municipalities of the viticultural regions by representatives of the Viticulture Cadastre Division of the National Wine Agency.
According to the current regulation, without a vineyard cadastral extract, a winegrower will not be able to deliver grapes to the enterprise, and a winemaker will not be able to sell wine.
The vineyard cadastre is essential for the development of the viticulture and winemaking sector and for increasing the competitiveness of Georgian wine in international markets. The vineyard cadastre is created by identifying each vineyard plot and recording detailed information about the winegrowers and vineyards. Information on a registered vineyard includes grape varieties, planting date, vineyard condition, location, area and other data. Currently, about 50 thousand hectares of vineyard area have been surveyed throughout the country.
The National Wine Agency launched the program in 2014 and by 2023 it had covered all viticultural regions. The National Wine Agency regularly updates cadastral data on vineyards.
