Ikalto Winery is a premium family-owned estate in Kakheti, harmoniously blending centuries-old Georgian winemaking traditions with modern European technologies. Managing nearly 65 hectares of its own vineyards in the micro-zones of Ikalto and Ruispiri, the winery produces exceptional Qvevri and classical-style wines. Renowned for their quality, 80% of these wines are proudly exported to international markets, including the USA.

The inspiration behind the winery dates back to the legendary 12th-century Ikalto Academy, an ancient center of learning where winemaking was studied as a science and celebrated as an art. The founders rebuilt the cellar on their ancestors' historical land, reviving a family winemaking lineage that traces back to the 19th century. Today, Ikalto Winery stands as a modern guardian of this grand heritage, bringing the authentic character of Kakhetian terroir to the global stage.
