🍷Free Guide - Georgian wineries

Hi! I'm Natalie!

Nice to meet you! And Welcome to my Guide across the best Georgian Wineries!

✨ This guide is free, your $ tips will help me to stay inspired to create new guides!

Some tips:

The most delicious wine on my taste is Kisi and Saperavi 

🍷 Kisi: The white Kisi grapes transform into a deep orange, tea-like, fragrant wine with dried fruit, tree flowers, and sweet spices. Firmly dry, gently tannic.

🍷 Saperavi: Robust, solid, but with a pleasant aftertaste; wine from the Saperavi never gets boring. In terms of taste, you will taste, especially in the dry red wines, notes of licorice, bay leaf and even a little leather.

My favourite dishes:

🧀 Megruli Khachapuri and Adjarian Khachapuri

🍆 Badrijani nigvzit: Eggplant rolls stuffed with a savory and garlicky walnut paste this combination will impress your mouth

My 2 favourite wineries 

I chose those wineries to celebrate my wedding at, as both are perfect for celebrations or simply a pleasant weekend away

Schuchmann Wines Chateau

@karavaevatasha

We stayed at a place run by Germans and were amazed by the quality of service. We had an unforgettable experience during our 3-day stay. The night price included a spa and we were able to enjoy a wine bath. We also learned how to make Khachapuri, bread, and churchkhela, and went on excursions to a winery for wine and chacha degustation. We booked a fully separate house which was great. They had three swimming pools (two outside and one inside) and a hot bath. The view of the mountains was breathtaking, and there were many grapes growing on the property. This place is amazing!

Sighnaghi 

is a small town worth visiting on its own on a one-day trip from Tbilisi. Walk through cozy old streets and enjoy the mountain view. I added some places I like for your lunch options and wine degustations

Sighnaghi

@karavaevatasha

This place is also called the City of Love. Many people come here to get married. And we did as well! It is a tiny town atop a hill in the easternmost region of Georgia called Kakheti. One of the prettiest towns in the whole country. Check recommendations for this town in my guide!

Okro's Wine Restaurant & Cellar

@karavaevatasha

It's a tough walk uphill from the town, but it is worth it. The view from the patio is breathtaking. You can do a wine tasting or have a bottle of organic wine. You can also ask to visit the cellar. Try any dish on suggestion. This place is one of the best in town.

Everything at wine cellar Kardanakhi 1888 is very well done, very thoughtful. Good diversity of wines for all tastes, delicious food, restaurant interior and veranda with an amazing view on the most famous Alazani valley and Great Caucasus mountain range. As you guess it is quite a big complex and they have a hotel Ampelo; tasting room, conference room, swimming pool in the garden, Chacha distillery, beehives, orchard and fruit garden and of course vineyard. It is a common local family with a good education and attitude towards life

Beautiful spot. Unique area and building. Comfortable beds. Super authentic mansion-type hotel (with just several rooms, creating an intimate environment).

Super well-trained staff members, great service, and very reasonable prices concerning the quality you get. Great for weekend getaways with family and friends, lunch or dinner while in the area, and seeking for great culinary experience.

Waterfalls

It is better to come prepared if you love tracking and want to visit waterfalls. But if you just interested in nature you are also welcome

Lagodekhi's Managed Reserve

@karavaevatasha

Anyone can enjoy this place. Whether it’s a 3-day hike or a 20-minute stroll in the woods. A very beautiful nature reserve. There are several trails for visitors in different directions: on foot, and horseback. Before entering the path you need to pass a reservation at the reception

Black Grouse Waterfall

@karavaevatasha

The smallest of the two waterfalls in Lagodekhi Natural Reserve. The hiking trail is well marked and 4,5 km long on one side, less challenging than the Ninoskhevi route. Amazing experience. Hiking time is almost 4-5 hours. Requires medium training level and good sneakers. Not recommended in wet weather.

Ninoskhevi Waterfall

@karavaevatasha

An amazing waterfall, one of the biggest in Georgia, but it’s quite a steep, difficult hike through the forest to get there. The sign makes it sound very easy, but it’s not. Not for small children and those who are unfit. 16 km round trip. It is better to go to the waterfall along the lower path with blue markings, and back along the upper one with red markings. It's easier this way
