Iago’s Winery is a small family-run estate located in the village of Chardakhi in the Mtskheta-Mtianeti region of central Georgia, led by winemaker Iago Bitarishvili, a pioneer of natural winemaking in the country. Established in the late 1990s, the winery focuses on reviving traditional Georgian methods, with its first bottled vintage released in 2003.
It is known for its strong commitment to organic and low-intervention practices, being among the first wineries in Georgia to obtain organic certification. Production is intentionally limited, using grapes exclusively from its own old vineyards, often over 50 years of age.
The winery is almost entirely dedicated to the indigenous Chinuri grape, expressing terroir through qvevri fermentation and aging, without additives or filtration. The wines are typically amber (orange) in style, with pronounced texture, structure, and natural complexity.
Iago’s Winery has gained international recognition as a key producer in the revival and global appreciation of traditional Georgian natural wines.
