A Rich History of Château Mukhrani

Château Mukhrani is a testament to the long-standing wine-making tradition in the Mukhrani region of Georgia. This unique estate combines four essential elements: vineyards, a winery, a castle, and a rich heritage, making it one of the few true Georgian Royal Châteaux. Established as a prince's estate by the Bagrationi royal family in 1512, the winery was founded in the 19th century by Ivane Mukhranbatoni, who brought the concept of a Château from France. After years of neglect during the Soviet era, a group of entrepreneurs began restoring Château Mukhrani in 2002, aiming to revive its former glory and blend modern techniques with traditional practices.

The Vines of Royal Heritage

The wines of Château Mukhrani reflect a deep-rooted heritage, showcasing the passion and dedication of its makers. Through careful grape selection and traditional vinification methods, each wine is crafted to highlight its unique character. Mukhrani, meaning "decorated with oak trees," is nestled between the majestic Caucasus and Trialeti mountain ranges, providing an ideal environment for grape cultivation. The vineyards are situated on meticulously chosen plots with fertile alluvial and diluvial loamy soils. This harmonious blend of nature, tradition, and craftsmanship results in wines with a robust structure and distinctive flavor profiles.

We booked in advance a visit to the winery with tasting with a Russian-speaking guide, the guide was very pleasant and interesting. The area is large and well-kept. It is possible to park the car by appointment.

Absolutely in love with the place and story behind it. We arranged in advance excursion with guide, wine tasting and also book a table in restaurant, suggest to visit a place outside the city. Great option for tourists to combine with Mtskheta visit as it is on the way to Chateau.

I was just outside of this place because they work 10-18.00, so I didn’t have time to visit their museum yet. But they have beautiful territories with a park , so you could walk, also the photo zone is good for weddings. Nearby they have a restaurant “orangery”, so the whole day could be spent there. Next time I will come on 10am to visit their museum and to have time for a lunch in the restaurant. Also you could buy some wine there.

An experience of it's kind, visit to Chateau Mukhrani was the highlight of our visit to Georgia. Our guide made reservations and at the winery, we had private tasting and tour very well hosted by Lucas. It was thrillig to get all the details of wine making, their flavours and their pairing. Situated just 40 mins from Tbilisi, the winery displays the feeling of royalty and since we visited around noon, the place was quite and peaceful. Lucas is a knowledgeable person, young and energetic wheras all other staff were courteous. We tasted four types of wine with different pairings. We purchased a few bottles too, based on suggestions from Lucas. Highly recommended if you are in Tbilisi or traveling to Kutaisi from Tbilisi - to visit Chateau Mukhrani.
