Great winery in a nice scenic village of Mukhuri, producing very rare sorts of wine. Misha and Ana are very kind, intelligent and hospitable people, they let us taste young Chekhardani paired with dried smoked homemade Sulguni cheese, and made a great company. We enjoyed time there a lot and will definitely pay Obene a visit again when we are back to Mukhuri.

The best Georgia winery producer. Very testy deep regional wine made in lime tree barrel. Winery owner is President of local Georgian wine made in traditional way. It's must be place.

Perfect Winery to discover megrelian soul and tastes, Here you'll meet Chvitiluri and Ojaleshi, authentic megrelian wines. Thanks to them Chvitiluri has born again after many years of being hidden from wine lovers 🥰 Ojaleshi was one of the best i have ever tasted 😍 Thanks Ana and her husband for hosting us in Obene, Ground level wine cellar 👌

Very cozy family winery. The amazing food will leave you sooo in love with Samegrelo. And wines! They are iconic for Samegrelo region. But the most important part was a great conversion over dinner with Misha and his wife Ana. True local experience. Highly recommended for everyone.
