Founder of the tour company and winery Wine Trails — Guide, Tour Leader, and Wine Enthusiast

I am someone who treasures good wine, delicious food, and the deep-rooted traditions of Georgia. My heart beats in rhythm with Georgian culture, history, and the joy of sharing them with guests through moments of celebration and authenticity.

Since 1987, I have worked as a professional guide—beginning at the David Gareji Monastery Museum and later guiding travelers throughout Georgia. For over a decade, I worked at the State Art Museum in Tbilisi, where I continued my journey through Georgia’s cultural landscape and participated in numerous archaeological expeditions. Today, my full attention and passion are devoted to winemaking and preserving traditional methods.

Photography, archaeology, travel, and both classical and jazz music are lifelong passions of mine. These influences shape the way I curate experiences—not just as tours, but as emotional, immersive journeys.

As a co-founder of Wine Trails winery in the village of Ikalto, I welcome every guest with heartfelt Georgian hospitality. Whether you’re seeking advice, a custom tour, or help planning your dream trip through Georgia, I am here to assist you—not just as a guide, but as a friend
