Nestled in the heart of the country, the winery has perfected the art of winemaking over the years. With its privatized status in 2004, the winery embarked on a path toward modernization and excellence, all while staying true to its rich heritage. Under the dynamic leadership of a young Russian winemaker, whose expertise has been enriched by experiences in Spain, Voskevaz Winery has undergone a remarkable transformation.

Voskevaz Winery has revitalized the ancient tradition of crafting ‘orange wines’. These wines are produced in ‘Karas’, large earthenware pots that are carefully buried in the winery’s cellars. This age-old process, resonant with practices from neighboring Georgia, yields unique and distinctive wines that capture the essence of the country.
