One of the most acclaimed representatives of Georgian wine culture, Mildiani Family Winery has achieved a string of professional successes in recent years, both domestically and internationally. The combination of traditional qvevri technology and modern winemaking techniques has not only resulted in unique wines but also created a distinctive style that has now garnered significant attention in the international wine world.

IWSC 2024 – Awarded the title of Best Georgian Winery

At the 2024 edition of the International Wine & Spirit Competition (IWSC), one of the world's most prestigious wine competitions, Mildiani Family Winery achieved exceptional results: they were awarded the title of Best Georgian Winery and took home a total of 13 medals – including 4 golds, 4 silvers, and 5 bronzes. The international jury not only highlighted the technological precision and harmony of the wines but also specifically praised the skillful application of qvevri technology and its placement in a modern, international context. According to the jury, Mildiani's wines represent "the tangible harmony of tradition and innovation."

TEXSOM 2024 – Breakthrough in the American market

Mildiani also received significant recognition at TEXSOM International Wine Awards, one of the most important wine events in the United States: their 2018 Kvevris Khikhvi won a gold medal.

This award is particularly significant because TEXSOM is a key professional forum in the American wine market, where the presence of Georgian wines is still considered a novelty. This success confirms that Mildiani is capable of conveying the best of Georgian winemaking in a way that remains understandable, enjoyable, and authentic for international consumers.

WinExpo 2025 – World-class on home ground

At the 2025 WinExpo wine competition in Tbilisi, Mildiani entered 19 wines and, almost unprecedentedly, collected 18 accolades, including numerous gold, silver, and bronze medals. The Saperavi Qvevri Bouquet 2021 also won the event's highest honor, the Trophy award.

The international jury specifically highlighted the consistency of the winery's style and the balance achieved between the character of traditional Georgian grape varieties and modern winemaking precision.

More than awards: a winery's vision for the future

The Mildiani Family Winery's recognitions go beyond medals. The winery plays an active role in repositioning Georgian wine culture globally: for decades, it has consistently championed the authenticity of qvevri technology while adapting to the expectations of international markets.

Mildiani is now not merely a family business producing excellent wines but also a significant ambassador for Georgia's wine culture. They not only preserve the values of the past but also imbue them with new meaning, thereby shaping the future.
