Shumi Winery Kakheti - Telavi

Wonderful experience from start to finish: walk through the wine museum botanical gardens with more indigenous grapes grown just to show their heritage, walk past the topiary Griffin, past the fountain amd croaking frogs.... Sit in the garden and order from a wide range of traditional Gerorgian cuisine dishes and peruse the menu of wine tasting options. There 's something for everyone 's taste and budget and the staff were the most accommodating to help you understand and appreciate Georgian wine. Look out for the sweet ones, they 'll take you by surprise!

I love winery tour and learn about the fascinating process of wine making, especially Georgian wine that is known to have a signature taste that makes it truly popular. This winery is very cute and homey which also offer a lot of cool pictures opportunity. The staff served us with 2 different wines for tasting and we were taken to the wine cellar where they explained how the wine was made. Made a friend with their dog pet too and stole a selfie with him. They do have a gift shop on site, which I believe the best part of the tour a lot of guests are looking forward to. Brought a sweet brandy home. I'm a happy woman.

Excellent experience! The outdoor setting is lovely and green, but with plenty of shade. The tastings included snacks. Our server Teo was magnificent! She was informative, kind, and spoke excellent English. She took her time to answer our many questions. The tasting was excellent. We had four tastes two mtsvanes and two saperavis. One of each variety was produced in the European style, and one in the Georgian style, in a qvevri. It really helps you understand the difference of qvevri production! Highly recommended.

This was definitely a highlight of our trip to Georgia. We were in a big group, they gave us a tour of winery with guide, cooking classes (khinkali , very delicious dinner and wine tasting. We were late to our reservation but they were still nice and helpful, which I appreciate a lot. The winery itself is very beautiful and it is nice to spend some time there with friends. You can also buy some wines in good prices (we bought our favourites for later . I highly recommend this place! :

Very nice wine tour or the winery and they even have a museum. I learn lots about the wine making process and Georgian wine production. They have lots of packages you can choose from starting at 18gel with wine and a small snack plate (a couple pieces of churchela, bread, and cheese. Penni was a great guide and the wine was delicious.
