This is a unique enterprise with a closed production circle, which starts from the selection of grapes and ends with the creation of a final product, which fully corresponds to ISO22000-2015 international standards.

  History of Vaziani starts in 1982. The manufactory has been established based on the Telavi winery No.1 and it is a worthy successor of the traditions of the Georgian wine production.

In the post-soviet era, the problems arisen in the viniculture led to the establishment of the new company that was called a souvenir producing factory, goal of which was, opposite to the low quality wines produced from the 70-s, production of the gift bottling of the best Georgian wine brands of the highest quality, thus maintaining image of the well-known brands of wine. The experiment paid off and today Vaziani is proud of that story.
