Description
Georgia is the motherland of winemaking with eight centuries of continuous experience in producing wine in Qvevri. This ancient culture has been becoming more popular in the world in the past years. We built a winery in the traditional Georgian style in Kardenakhi village - a perfect place for Kaketian winemaking.
Now our family winery has a fruit garden, we keep animals, and opened hotel rooms on 2nd and 3rd floors of the winery.
We continue developing and we’re happy to invite you to help us out. While staying in a unique winery made of stones with a Georgian roof tile, you will be introduced to the unique qvevri technique of Georgian winemaking, enjoy Georgian cuisine and experience hasteless lifestyle of a Georgian village. Besides, you will get a chance to participate in the process yourself and see how it all works from the inside.
Come and get your truly Georgian experience!
