Georgia has long been a country where wine is woven into daily life from being poured at the table, shared on hikes, and raised in toasts at the supra. But for a long time, the public face of that tradition has been male. That is changing.

In a recent feature published in Vogue, writer Jessica Jungbauer traveled through Georgia, from the well-known vineyards of Kakheti to the lesser-traveled regions of Imereti and Samegrelo, to meet the women quietly reshaping the country’s wine landscape. Among them is Baia Abuladze of Baia’s Wine, who founded her winery in Imereti in 2015, making it one of the first in Georgia to be woman-led. Now in its fourth generation, the winery farms 18 hectares organically and focuses on indigenous varieties like Tsitska, Tsolikouri, and Krakhuna.

“Women were always part of that work,” Abuladze told Vogue, “but more in terms of labeling the wine or selling it. Now you can find so many women leading the wineries.”

This theme resonates deeply with what we do at Saperavi Brothers. We’ve made it a priority to seek out and support women-led producers in Georgia- including Simonica, Tilisma, Two Sisters, and Pi- because we believe the future of Georgian wine is being written by exactly this generation.
