Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
The volunteers will have a chance to understand and learn Georgian traditional winemaking, since the Estate is a wine chateau. We have the qvevris dating back to 1906 and still properly functioning. You will have a chance to learn a lot about winemaking traditions and generally about Georgian culture through exchanges with us as well as with our guests.
Travelers will be introduced to the Georgian culture primarily. They will better understand its social texture, and the region itself. Due to our location it is easy to visit numerous cultural sites located within 1 hour driving distance, that is the most of Kakheti region.Help
