Take a walk in the decorative garden with a glass of wine from Tsinandali wine cellars and learn the history of the one of the royal families of Georgia.
Next head to Shumi winery located just a few minutes' drives from Tsinandali. Here you’ll have a tour in the winery which presents a collection of wine-related exhibits, a history and culture department, and a wine-tasting area. Taste Shumi wines made according to European methods of wine-making.
