Wine Artisans is a distinguished natural winery located in the Shida Kartli region of Georgia. Founded by Andro Barnovi, a passionate winemaker with a rich background in academia and politics, this winery aims to unite local winemakers and produce exceptional natural wines that reflect the unique characteristics of the region.
The vineyards of Wine Artisans thrive on the Trialeti terroirs, situated at an altitude of 800 meters above sea level, near the picturesque Trialeti Mountain Range and the village of Akhaltsikhe. This region benefits from abundant sunshine and a diverse soil composition, featuring a blend of heavy and light clay enriched with limestone and flint. Additionally, other vineyards are located along the River Tana and in Khashmi Village, close to Tbilisi, alongside the banks of the Iori River.
Wine Artisans specializes in producing 100% natural dry red and orange wines. Their winemaking process is free from artificial yeasts, additives, sulfur, or filters, ensuring that each bottle is a true representation of the terroir. After harvesting, the wines are aged for 8-9 months in qvevri, traditional clay vessels buried in the ground. Each year, the winery crafts 6-8 distinct wines, primarily focusing on mono-cepage varieties or blends, with a commitment to producing only dry wines without coupage.

We visited whilst on holiday in Georgia. My wife is a winemaker and was very excited to see high quality Georgian winemaking techniques. Here they are mixing traditional Qvevri techniques with innovation (on blends and skin contact duration) and are impressively all natural with no additives. The quality of the wines was very high - probably the best we have tried I Georgia to this date. On top of this they had amazing hospitality with a great meal (including his special pork!), beautiful dogs and were very patient in answering all of my wife’s technical questions. A resounding recommendation!

My visit to Wine Artisans, the family winery near Gori in Tsedisi, was magical! Andro’s genuine enthusiasm for making wine added a special and authentic quality to overall experience, making it more enjoyable. The wines, and the homemade food paired together, were outstanding. You’ll also have the company of two adorable, guest-loving dogs. For a genuine and memorable wine-tasting experience, Wine Artisans is a must visit place. Thanks for your sincere hospitality 🙏♥️
