The winery

Our vineyards reach right up to the winery. Here we make Labra wines from our own grapes, from receiving the harvest to bottling the wine.

Our own grapes

The Achba family planted its first vines in Labra in 2014. Today our vineyards cover about 80 hectares.

The work begins between the rows: tending the vines, watching the grapes ripen and bringing in the harvest.

Inside the winery

Our production and bottling facilities use Italian equipment.

We first bottled our wine here in spring 2025.

The winemakers’ work

We monitor fermentation and compose our blends, drawing on four generations of family experience.

Our family works alongside our neighbours in Labra.

A living history

The museum of Abkhaz winemaking holds wooden presses, clay vessels and old tools.

Beside the modern winery, you can see how people worked with grapes long before our time.
