“My key objective is to contribute to the revival of the ancient culture of winegrowing in the Kvemo-Kartli Region. After school, I always try to take an active part in farming activities with my family in Shulaveri, and I use the knowledge I learn in school to assist my parents with more practical and useful recommendations,” Lika Bochorishvili said.

Bochorishvili recently took part in the first business Forum of Entrepreneur Women in Adjara. Together with her mother, she produces ancient Georgian wines on her farmland. The young winemaker hopes her wines will be exported to foreign markets, too.

The teenage winemaker speaks six languages. In the multicultural environment of her school she has learned English, Turkish, Azerbaijani, Russian and German. After finishing high school, Bochorishvili plans to continue her studies in Germany in a department of winegrowing and viticulture to help expand her family business.
