Join us for an intimate wine tasting dedicated to IBERIELI, one of Georgia's most respected natural wine producers.

ABOUT IBERIELI:
Founded by Zurab Topuridze, Iberieli (named after the ancient Caucasus people credited as the world's first winemakers) represents a return to basics in Georgian winemaking. All wines are produced using traditional qvevri fermentation, organic farming practices, and minimal intervention. The vineyards in Kakheti benefit from proximity to the Alazani River and unique soil composition rich in stones and minerals, giving the wines their distinctive character and structure.
