Kardenakhi. Since 1969.

The story of Avandi Winery began in 1969, when it was established as the largest winery in the region. Following the collapse of the USSR, the winery was acquired by Shalva Nadashvili. Decades later, in 2017, Shalva’s son Simon Nadashvili and grandson Daniil Nadashvili reignited their family’s connection to winemaking, breathing new life into this storied estate.

They transformed the winery from its Soviet-era roots, abandoning outdated technologies and methods, while embracing the rich heritage of Georgian winemaking and seamlessly integrating cutting-edge technology. This harmonious blend of tradition and innovation became the cornerstone of Avandi’s philosophy, crafting wines that honor the past while looking toward the future.

Nestled in the picturesque village of Kardenakhi, in the heart of the Alazani Valley, Avandi Winery thrives in a region renowned for its Protected Designations of Origin: Tsarapi, Akhoebi, and Kardenakhi. This prime location allows us to cultivate vineyards that showcase the unique terroir of Georgia’s premier wine regions.

Our vineyards span over 70 hectares across the Kartli and Kakheti regions, where we cultivate a diverse range of rare and iconic Georgian grape varieties.

With over 40 unique wine expressions, we continually explore the potential of these ancient vines while pushing the boundaries of creativity.
