Guramishvili Marani is located in Saguramo, just a 10-minute drive from the Jvari Monastery. Dating back to the early 19th century, this historic winery is recognized as a cultural heritage site. Its uniqueness lies in the fact that, over a century ago, Ilia Chavchavadze himself pressed grapes here — and today, every guest has the opportunity to share in that experience.
Our concept redefines wine tourism as something that goes beyond taste — an experience that resonates with meaning and values.
"Ilia's Path" is an educational, immersive tour that blends history with the rich traditions of Georgian winemaking. Every detail here carries symbolic weight and storytelling value.
