Our History
Built by a collective of families and close friends united by a deep appreciation for their culture, Vine Era grew from our long-held and close relationship with wine and land. Over time, that instinctive beginning evolved into a carefully shaped and thoughtful practice, guided by patience, experience, and an understanding that tradition is too allowed to look forward to innovation.
From the beginning, our vision was simple – to establish a vineyard that will flourish for, and grow with, future generations. Every decision made, from selecting the site and soil preparation to the chosen grape varieties, was guided by our expertise, thorough research, and a genuine respect for the natural environment. At Vine Era’s estate, wine is not merely a product, but an embodiment of the careful craftsmanship, dedication, and stewardship of the land that nurtures it.
This measured approach continues to shape everything that we do.

From Vision to the Vineyard
In Georgia, wine has always been more than a beverage. It is tied to our roots, for millenia linking land and people, and carrying traditions forward while allowing new ones to form. With this in mind, we set out to establish a practice that adds to an inherited viticulture rather than replacing or repeating it – shaping a winery that brings together distinctive traditional methods and contemporary technical understanding, as well as sparking a dialogue between Georgian and European grape varieties and winemaking traditions.
With longevity and quality valued over scale, this approach is also reflected in the way we build relationships and make decisions: carefully, sustainably, and with a long view.
Research Laying the Groundwork
In 2019, we moved from vision to execution, beginning the careful development of Vine Era. To ensure long-term balance, compatibility, and performance across grape varieties, extensive soil analyses were conducted in Serbia, complemented by clonal selection in Italy. By integrating insights from both disciplines, we established a robust, science-driven foundation for the vineyard. Every stage of development followed a systematic approach shaped by the site’s unique characteristics, local climate conditions, and a commitment to sustainable vineyard management. With the planting of sixteen hectares, Vine Era laid the groundwork for future expansion and long-term growth.
The First Vintage
The 2024 harvest marks Vine Era’s first vintage. The successful cultivation of Rkatsiteli and Saperavi demonstrates the effectiveness of our cellar and vineyard management techniques, which have been in place since the beginning. Each bottle represents a thorough and intentional winemaking process that merges technical expertise with a deep reverence for the vineyard's unique character, natural processes, and raw materials.
Commitment to Quality
At Vine Era, we pride ourselves on our founding philosophy of attention to detail throughout every phase of production, ensuring the highest quality in our offerings. Our winery employes Letina barrels, a Zabelli processing line, carefully selected French oak casks, and top-quality Portuguese corks to ensure we produce the finest products. Every element is meticulously selected to ensure reliability, accuracy, and the enduring quality of wine.
Our dedication leads to wines that stand out not just for their flavour but also for their structure, balance, character, and the artistry involved in their creation.
Looking Forward
Vine Era is committed to growth through intention and perseverance. By 2026, we will broaden our offerings to include two distinct styles of brandy while continuing our commitment to innovation and enhancement in both the vineyard and cellar.
With a foundation in tradition and a commitment to contemporary knowledge, Vine Era is dedicated to maintaining continuity and building a new era for Georgian wines, crafted with care and purpose.
