Niki Nikolovska + Tom Byrne | Babche Wines

About the Winemakers

Babche is the love child of Niki Nikolovska and Tim Byrne - partners in wine, life, and raising a toddler while running a vineyard (no big deal). Niki’s journey started far from Victoria’s wine country, growing up in Toronto whilst spending summers in rural Macedonia with her grandparents, who made their own wine, cheese, and moonshine. After years in health sciences, she couldn’t shake the pull of the land and eventually swapped lab work for vineyard life, working harvests around the world before settling in Bellarine. Tim, a Victoria native and trained viticulturist, brings his deep knowledge of soil, vines, and winemaking to the mix. Together, they’ve built Babche with a commitment to organic farming, minimal intervention, and wines that reflect both their roots and the land they love.
