Batumi residents at the “Oscars” of wine!


André Baader, from Brazil, and his wife Karla, from Guatemala, have been invited to the Vino Influencers World Awards in Spain — the most prestigious international award for wine content creators!


In 2025, they already received the “Brightest Journey” trophy from the @winetravelawards in London and were even featured in Forbes Georgia.


The couple has visited 105 countries, from Alaska to Antarctica, promoting wine tourism — even volunteering at wineries in Portugal affected by wildfires.


Today, they live in Batumi, Georgia, and are the only active South American representatives based in the country, promoting Georgian wines through education and culture.

This September, the grand gala will be held in Valladolid, Castilla y León, gathering over 100 international influencers, wineries, and renowned brands. There, they will proudly represent Georgia, nominated for their outstanding work in promoting the country’s wines worldwide.

This year, they are also participating in the Brazilian Sommelier Association (ABS), teaching masterclasses on Georgian wines throughout Brazil.


In 2025, they even launched wine tourism programs, bringing professors and students from ABS to Georgia for a 10-day immersive tour. And in 2026, they will bring three more groups of Brazilian wine enthusiasts to discover Georgia, a major step forward in promoting tourism and services between South America and Georgia.
