Tamar Wines
Tamar Wines is led by Patrick Honnef. After numerous careers, Patrick decided to follow his passion for wine. In 2003, he made his way to Bordeaux, which led to 10 years of winemaking, viticulture, and management at Chateau d’Aiguilhe. With this experience, the challenge of Chateau Mukhrani (CHM) in Georgia and the fascination of contributing to the renaissance of Georgian wine culture made him decide to move to Georgia and to become the Technical Director and CEO of CHM. By 2023, Georgian Wines and Spirits became another jewel under his responsibility. Together with Manuchar Meskhidze, and Nika Natroshvili- the Chief viticulturist- Tamar strives to offer the joy of wine.
Pi
This symbol of balance and harmony is the philosophy behind Pi Winery and its founding family. In 2020, Teona Omarashvili teamed up with her uncle Levan, to officially brand Pi Wines after years of family centered winemaking. This wine pays tribute to the eternal- like the number π, and reflects a pursuit of perfection that never truly ends. With roots in ancient soil, each sip brings you closer to the elegance of nature’s own equation.
Danieli
Olaf Malver’s life has always been an eternal striving for wisdom, a yearning for more profound knowledge that can be carried over to the next generation, either by teaching or through exploring with others. Fortunately he has been able to pursue this quest with the advent of Danieli wines. This Danish born winemaker married in Georgia and with his wife and children expanded Danieli Winery.
Qvevri Wine Cellar
From the village of Velistsikhe in Kakheti, Ivane Nareklishvili set out to found his own winery. As a third-generation winemaker, Ivane spent 25 years gaining experience working for a variety of wine producers. After spending time studying in Italy- and becoming engrossed in different techniques- he came to understand the future of Georgian winemaking exists in the blend of traditional Kakhetian and contemporary winemaking knowledge. With a modern winemaker’s eye for quality control, and the steady hand of minimal intervention, Ivane honed his ability to finesse a natural ferment to reveal the best of native yeasts and traditional techniques without risking errant slips or spoilage. From this, Qvevri Wine Cellar was born in 2015.

Tilisma
Tilisma Winery is run by Ketevan Akolashvili and Christian Hubert, who transformed a piece of Ketevan’s family vineyard into something genuinely modern, yet deeply Georgian. From the outside, the winery feels like a family estate, but step into their qvevri cellar, and you’ll see the magic: old-school clay vessels, sitting quietly beneath the surface, gently fermenting the region’s iconic grapes.
Napheri Family Winery
Levan Kbiltsetskhlashvili was a successful lawyer in Tbilisi before he decided it was time to change his long-standing career- and his life- in the process. Levan grew up near Mtskheta in the village of Navazi. Above the village sits ruins of the ancient settlement in the region of Kartli with the broken qvevris of the original winemakers, and as a child Levan would explore the ruins on the restless, long summer days. These childhood memories were the inspiration behind Levan eventually becoming a full-time winemaker back in his hometown.
