Discover the Heart of Georgian Winemaking with Rostomaant Marani (Telavi & Surroundings)

Step into the soul of Georgian culture with an unforgettable experience in Kakheti — the cradle of wine and one of the oldest winemaking regions in the world.

At Rostomaant Marani, this is not just a tour — it’s a personal journey into tradition, family heritage, and authentic Georgian hospitality.

Your journey typically starts around 1:00 PM (lunch time), though we are happy to adjust the schedule based on your preference.

If needed, we personally offer pickup from Telavi or nearby areas, so you can relax and enjoy the day from the very beginning.
