About Us

Our family’s winemaking tradition began in 1900 with the dedication of our great-grandfather – from Rkatsiteli variety grapes harvested in his own vineyard in the village of Ratevani. Grandfather made wine for family consumption – using the Swabian method, in oak vats; this tradition was later continued by our father, Vazha. Today, in this small vineyard of Ratevani, where there are only 6 rows and the vineyard is almost 60 years old, we have planted Chinuri. For us, this vineyard carries a special history and emotions.

From 2015, brothers Guram and Giorgi decided to restore the tradition of making wine in Qvevri, and this is where the story of the Brothers’ Cellar begins. Currently, we have 2 hectares of Rkatsiteli vineyard and the annual production is 16,000 bottles.

About Vineyard

“Brothers’ Cellar” was founded in 2015 by brothers — Guram Avkopashvili and Giorgi Chkonia, in the Bolnisi municipality, in the village of Samtredo. Exactly here, at 570 meters above sea level, is located their vineyard, where local varieties — Rkatsiteli and Tavkveri — grow in Bolnisi’s unique soil and climate.

The uniqueness of the cellar is also defined by its space — a traditional underground cellar, which is characteristic of Bolnisi and gives the wine the opportunity to age in natural conditions.

“Brothers’ Cellar” today represents a space where Bolnisi’s diverse history and the tradition of Georgian winemaking unite and take on a modern form.

Region

Located in the heart of Kvemo Kartli, Bolnisi is one of the oldest and most distinguished winemaking regions in Georgia. The local soil, sunny days, and unique microclimate create ideal conditions for growing high-quality grapes.

“Brothers’ Cellar” is a part of this very environment — a place where history, nature, and love for wine unite.
