Natenadze’s Wine Cellar
REGION
Meskheti
STORY
Natenadze’s Wine Cellar has been proudly restoring the tradition of winemaking in its Meskheti region, where centuries ago the Ottomans destroyed valuable local grape species.
Giorgio Natenadze has been carefully studying and reviving as many as 40 local grape species, making rare wines naturally over a 3-hectare territory. Natenadze’s Wine Cellar uses organic processes, dry-farming all grapes manually with no irrigation used.
LOCATION
Village Akhaltsikhe, Akhaltsikhe Municipality, Region Samstkhe-Javakheti, Georgia

Historians and scientists believe the Meskheti Region may be the birthplace for wine as one of the oldest dated winemaking regions in Georgia.
