The Living Heritage
Our Story
“8,000 years of history condensed into a single family's passion. This is our invitation to the soul of Georgia.”
Chapter 01 | Our Root
Curating Exceptional Wines with Passion
The Lanchava Collection is dedicated to curating exceptional wines with a passion for the oldest known wine producing region in the world. With a history dating back more than 8,000 years, our collection unites the most exclusive wines from the country of Georgia.
“Like individuals, wine has unique personalities and tells their own stories.”
David Lanchava, Founder
We focus on drinking wine by making great conversations, around friends and family. Rather than selecting wines to pair with certain foods, enjoy the wine with any food you prefer and think about great and positive conversations. Wine is the best companion with whom you can communicate. It shares your ups and downs.
Chapter 02 | The Namesakes
Every Wine Tells
a Family Story
Just as every individual has a unique personality, every wine tells its own story through its character, aroma, and taste.
Chapter 03 | 8,000 Years
The Cradle of
Winemaking
Ancient Vessels, Living Earth
Our story begins in the very earth of Georgia, where for eight millennia, wine has been fermented in Qvevri massive clay vessels buried deep within the ground. This UNESCO-recognized method is not just a technique; it is a spiritual dialogue between the grape and the terroir.
500+ Varieties, Found Nowhere Else
Georgia is home to over 500 indigenous grape varieties — more than any other country on earth. Saperavi, Rkatsiteli, Mtsvane, Krakhuna, Kisi, Alexandrouli — these are not just names, but living ancestors of winemaking itself, cultivated in Georgian valleys for millennia and found nowhere else in the world.
The Lanchava Collection is a curated journey through this extraordinary diversity. Each wine represents a distinct grape, a distinct region, and a distinct personality — from the deep, full-bodied power of Saperavi to the delicate floral elegance of Kisi.
Chapter 04 | The First Lesson
AI IA
აი ია
The Georgian sentence, “AI IA” translated as “this is violet,” is the first lesson when learning the Georgian language. It is our introduction to the world of Georgian wine.
Just as these two simple letters, “ა” (a) and “ი” (i), form the foundation of our ancient alphabet, this collection serves as the quintessential introduction to our terroir and winemaking philosophy.
“A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single letter.”
