Kakheti Winery
“Bedoba” was born from the praise of an inclusive and eclectic culture at the European junction between east, west, north and south. Several cultures from Europe, Persia, Arabia, Anatolia and the Far East have influenced Georgia's own identity, giving rise to one of the most hospitable countries in the world.
To honor this, “Bedoba” wine was created in cooperation between winemaker Nugzar Ksovreli and Kakheti Winery. The origins of this winery date back to 1533, when the winemaker of the Kakhetian king Teimuraz II, Kakhaber Konchoshvili, created a winery to produce and sell wines from the region.
