Our Story

Hereti Trading Group is a New York-based importer of the highest quality natural wines from the Cradle of Wine, the Republic of Georgia.

We are excited to introduce extraordinary, finest quality wines produced by the small vineyards from Kakheti — the crown jewel of the wine regions of Georgia — who proudly harvest over 500 indigenous grape varieties.

We partner with a select number of small vintners who, despite the pressures of today's industrialism, remain faithful to Georgia's 8,000-year-old wine-making tradition of using qvevri (an earthenware vessel buried underground) for fermentation and storage that produces distinctive wines with a rare earthy flavor. This method, which in 2013 was listed as part of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO, fascinates and attracts an ever-growing number of wine lovers from all over the world.
