Lionidzis Zvari is a Georgian winery established in 2006 in the village of Vardisubani, located within the Tsinandali microzone in the Kakheti region, one of the country’s most important wine-growing areas. The vineyards are situated on historically significant land once associated with Solomon Lionidze, a diplomat at the court of King Erekle II, which adds cultural depth to the winery’s identity.

The estate focuses on native grape varieties such as Saperavi, Rkatsiteli, Mtsvane, Kisi, and Khikhvi, aiming to reflect the specific terroir defined by local soils and climatic conditions. Production combines traditional Georgian techniques with modern winemaking practices, with a strong emphasis on fermentation and aging in qvevri—large clay vessels buried underground, recognized as part of UNESCO’s intangible cultural heritage.

Their wines are typically structured, with a balance between freshness, tannins, and aromatic complexity, depending on the style and vinification method. Particular attention is given to qvevri wines, which express pronounced texture and varietal character.
