Description

Winery

The history of Vaziani unfolded in the year 1982 when this factory was established based on the renowned Telavi Winery No. 1. Vaziani symbolizes the continuation of the centuries-old traditions of Georgian wine production. In the post-Soviet era, when the winemaking sector faced challenges, the idea of creating a new company emerged, initially bearing the name “souvenir production factory.” This company had the noble goal of upholding the reputation of the esteemed Georgian wine brands in contrast to the low quality of wines produced from the 1970s. They chose to bottle the finest Georgian wines of the utmost quality in beautiful gift packaging. It was a bold experiment, and its fruits can be proudly reaped today. Vaziani looks back with satisfaction on this unique chapter in their history.

The traditional Qvevri winemaking method, dating back up to 8000 years, continues to be honored. Vaziani Winery proudly represents this rich cultural and historical heritage. Makashvili Wine Cellar, owned by Vaziani, has its roots in the Makashvili estate from the latter part of the 15th century. In the cellars, you can find Qvevri vessels that are over 120 years old. They were discovered during the renovation of the winery in 2012, buried beneath the ground of Vaziani Winery. Of the approximately 200 Qvevri vessels found, only 39 could be preserved intact. The wines are crafted with the utmost care using the traditional Qvevri winemaking method in these ancient Qvevri vessels. They are produced in limited quantities and have received worldwide recognition.
