11 differenct countries all around the world united by their love and
appreciation of Georgian wine. Preserving uniqueness of Georgian winemaking traditions and keeping pace with the swiftly developing tendencies in the field – that was our major
goal. We have developed two brands: IKANO - combination of local traditions
with international ones, using of Georgian grapes along with the
international ones; and FRIENDS CELLAR - classic Georgian wines made in
full compliance with the Georgian wine traditions.

The company "Lionidze Zvari" was founded in 2006 and since then it has been keeping the centuries-old Georgian traditions and cultural heritage. Our production of wine and strong alcoholic beverages is based on ancient Georgian traditions and modern technologies, which in our opinion gives us a basis to establish an honorable place in the world market in this field. This statement is substantiated by the fact that modern science is increasingly recognizing Georgia as the "homeland of wine".
The cellar is built of bricks from the last period of the 19th century, which have a cross and were referred to as "French bricks". The youngest Qvevri dates back to 1904 and is made by the famous potter Isidore Chubinidze, the other vessels belong to the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Interestingly, the oldest Qvevri of the cellar, which bears the mark of the shape of a horseshoe, is the largest and its volume reaches 4 tons.
