Chateau Mere arranges tastings of the Chateau Mere and Winiveria fine dry white and red wines from Georgian endemic grape varieties such as Kisi, Khikhvi, Mtsvane, Tsinandali, Chinuri, Rose, Saperavi, Mukuzani, and Kindzmarauli. The Mere Restaurant serves Georgian traditional cuisine made from organic food from local produce catered to all pallets. The Italian restaurant Enzo's Ezo serves home-made simple rustic Italian food and 36 hour rising dough pizza.
The Winiveria wine company (2005) represents one of the first agritourism attractions in Georgia. Winiveria wines made according to ancient Kakhetian wine-making technology are unfiltered to keep and bring best properties of Georgian wines. Winiveria wines are made in clay jars (kvevri) and preserved in them for fermentation and maturation. The aging process continues in oak barrels or in bottles.
