Natenadze's Wine Cellar

Visit the Heart of Georgian Winemaking

Natenadze’s Winery is nestled in the picturesque Meskheti region of Georgia, renowned for its stunning landscapes and rich winemaking heritage. As one of the oldest wine-producing areas in the world, Georgia is often referred to as the birthplace of wine. Meskheti is particularly significant, with some experts suggesting that indigenous grape varieties like Saperavi, Dzvelshavi, and Khikhvi may trace their roots back to this region. A visit to Natenadze’s Winery promises a memorable experience, perfect for wine lovers and those seeking to connect with nature.

Pioneers of Winemaking Restoration

For over 400 years, Meskheti was under Turkish rule, leading to the destruction of vineyards and local grape varieties. Natenadze Winery has taken the lead in restoring this rich heritage by rehabilitating ancient vine terraces. The team actively researches and identifies wild grape varieties that thrive in the surrounding mountain forests.

“I have found some vines that are more than 100 years old and one that I reckon is more than 400 years old.” – G. Natenadze

Through modern techniques, the winery has revitalized ancient vineyards, breathing new life into the region's winemaking traditions.
