Where My Journey Took Root

Every journey has a starting point, and mine began among the sun-drenched vineyards of Georgia, the world’s oldest winemaking country. Growing up surrounded by qvevris buried deep in the earth, harvest feasts, and the hum of family gatherings, wine was never just a drink — it was a way of life.

I learned early on that wine is about people and place as much as it is about grapes. Walking through my own family vineyards, I discovered the rhythm of the seasons, the patience required for each vine, and the pride that comes with sharing a bottle you’ve helped create.

Georgia gave me my foundation — a respect for tradition, an appreciation for authenticity, and the curiosity to see how wine is made and celebrated around the world. It’s here that my passion for storytelling began, blending taste, culture, and place into one narrative.
