The two wineries are in Georgia, Eastern Europe, are owned by VG21 and the owner, Jamie Carrasquilla is the first woman to be given permission to import wine from the country of Georgia here into the United States. We are proud to continue this legacy and share our passion for this wine, and this company – with our world.

Our Food

At Raise Your Glass, our menu is ever-evolving — just like a great conversation over wine.
Led by our executive chef, our rotating selection of small plates and seasonal bites is thoughtfully curated to highlight the character of our wines. We believe food and wine are best enjoyed together — and we craft each pairing to make that connection unforgettable.

Our History

Discover the Roots of Wine — Georgia, the Birthplace of Winemaking
Long before France or Italy, there was Georgia — where winemaking began over 8,000 years ago. Nestled between Europe and Asia, this ancient country is home to the qvevri tradition, where wine is fermented underground in clay vessels. With over 500 native grape varieties and a deep cultural reverence for the vine, Georgia’s wines are rich in history, soul, and story — a beautiful reminder that every glass has a past.
