It’s so cute! I was really impressed and I’m still enjoying it! We had an incredible time there and a very interesting excursion. The food was fresh and tasty. After visiting this place, I started to understand a bit about wines. So, I strongly recommend visiting this place. They also have a master class in September where you can take part in creating wine.

A beautiful and atmospheric place. The tour is short, about 30 minutes, and costs 10 GEL (without tasting, paid separately). I didn't like the winery restaurant: I ordered a kebab, the meat wasn't marinated and was barely chewy. Although the people at the neighboring tables said they liked everything and that everything was delicious.

A very cool place! Beautiful vineyards, a delicious restaurant and a very hospitable manager Beka (greetings from St. Petersburg). He became for us a kind of guide of this wonderful place. Thanks to him, we tasted a number of delicious wines, learned the history of their creation and almost attended a festival in the middle of the vineyards! Cool place. Especially at the time of RTVELI. I definitely recommend it. - elegantly decorated areas for photos, textured straw hats - beautiful and touching.

We had an absolutely amazing time at Shumi! From the moment we entered the wine museum, we were immersed in the rich history and culture of winemaking. The wine tasting was a true highlight, with a wonderful selection of wines that showcased the unique flavors of the region. Strolling through the vineyard was a peaceful and beautiful experience, and we loved learning about the different grape varieties. One of the most memorable parts was the opportunity to cook traditional national dishes. It was such a hands-on way to experience the local culture, and the warm hospitality made us feel like part of the family. The entire experience at Shumi was a perfect blend of history, culture, and culinary delight, all wrapped up in the national spirit. We can't wait to come back!
