A brief history

Ikano Estate is located on the site of the ancient city of Nekresi in Kakheti, where Georgian winemaking has been happening for some 8000 years. More recently, in 2010, friends of 12 different nationalities rallied around a vision of making wine together in celebration of their enduring friendship, one which transcends the vagaries of world events. We take immense pride in being custodians of Ikano Estate’s historical terrain while both upholding the traditional Georgian method of kvevri winemaking, as well as employing classical European techniques. While grounded in our history, we are ground breakers as well, being a leader in Georgia in sustainability and bio-dynamic processes. In 2025 we expect full completion of the multi-year process of bio certification. Our wines have been praised for their excellence by customers and have been awarded numerous IWSC and Decanter medals. Our winery stands as a living tribute both to the enduring legacy of the millenia of winemakers who have gone before us, as well as to the enduring strength of friendships knowing no borders.
