Winemaker
Tilisma Winery is run by Ketevan Hubert, who transformed a piece of her family’s 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.
These wines are perfect for anyone looking to dive deeper into Georgia’s unique winemaking culture. And the name “Tilisma”? It means “talisman”, a nod to protection, mystery, and maybe a bit of winemaking magic. Tilisma checks all the boxes: women-led, family-built, and always made with care.

Vineyard
The vineyards of Tilisma are located in Mukuzani, Gurjaani Municipality, in the region Kakheti. Grapes were planted together on a single, organic vineyard in 2018 in Velistsikhe, part of the Mukuzani appellation for saperavi, with a soil composition of clay with plenty of limestone. It provides a lovely minerality other micro-zones in the region do not.
