At Bagineti Winery, wine isn’t just made, it’s lived. Located in the historic city of Mtskheta, the wine cellar stands on the grounds of the Church of St. Barbara, giving the wines a unique monastic character. Surrounding the church is a beekeeping farm, adding another layer to the monastic lifestyle and reminding visitors that the work here is about more than wine, it’s about reviving and preserving a way of life.

Earlier this summer, Saperavi Brothers had the opportunity to further explore Tilisma Winery, a small family-run winery making “natural wines with soul”. This visit turned into a full-blown partnership, and we’re excited to introduce this gem to our portfolio.

As an importer, we take a lot of pride in choosing winemakers who can truly represent what Georgia has to offer. Georgian wine has an incredible history, but here in the U.S., it’s still flying under the radar, and we’re working hard to change that.
