"Guramishvili’s Marani" welcomes you to one of Georgia’s most valuable cultural landmarks - a 19th-century historic wine cellar, a unique example of Georgian secular architecture, officially recognized as a monument of national significance. Adjacent to the cellar, visitors can explore a modern, fully equipped winery, wine storage facilities, a degustation hall, and a restaurant overlooking the beautiful yard.
Our Concept - “The Path of Ilia”
Guramishvili’s Marani is not merely a tourist location - it is a living heritage, where tradition continues.
Over a century ago, Ilia Chavchavadze himself pressed wine here, and today every visitor can experience the same authentic journey. Ilia Chavchavadze was a prominent Georgian writer, public figure, and national leader, canonized as a saint by the Georgian Orthodox Church. He played a key role in shaping Georgia’s cultural, political, and intellectual development.
Our concept, inspired by Ilia’s legacy, combines history, innovation, storytelling, wine culture, and personalization. Every detail carries meaning: from customized badges to personalized wine labels - making each guest feel part of the story.
This aligns with the educational, emotional, and experiential approach described in your internal concept file.

3.Production area – where tradition meets innovation
