About Artana

Their overarching mission is clear: to produce only natural products while simultaneously upholding and advancing Georgia's rich winemaking heritage, which spans an impressive 6000 years. Despite being in the market for only three years, Artana Wines has swiftly risen to prominence, capturing the attention of both local and international markets. Beyond Georgian wine shops.
