The best wines is the ones we drink with friends...
Telavi
Telavi - the main city and administrative center of Georgia's eastern province of Kakheti. Telavi began to transform into a fairly important and large political and administrative center in the 8th century AD. The city is located on foot-hills of Tsiv-Gombori Range at 500–800 meters above the sea level.
Telavi rich in historical, architectural and natural monuments. The most important heritage monuments preserved within the city are:
Dzveli Galavani ("Old Walls") - fortress of the first Kakhetian kings (9th–10thcc); Church of the St. Mary (16th c);
Church of the Holy Trinity (6th c);
Fortress Batonis Tsikhe ("Fortress of Master") built in the 17th century; one of the only well-preserved medieval royal palaces in Georgia.
Korchibashishvilebis Tsikhe - castle of the local noblemen named Korchibashishvili, (16th–18th c);
Vakhvakhishvilebis Tsikhe - castle of the local noblemen named Vakhvakhishvili, (18th c);
Telavi is the only city in Georgia where four different fortification monuments from different historical periods remain relatively intact. Due to this reason, architects, scholars and art historians consider Telavi as the most "medieval" city in the country. Another curious sight in Telavi is a 900-year-old plane tree which is 40 m (130 ft) high and 11 m (36 ft) around the trunk.

Stunning place. Zaza and his co-owners could not have been better hosts, with delicious and plentiful food, a tour of the vineyard and the winery itself, and a chance to experience some of Georgia's more unique grape varieties. Definitely check it out!

We had a great holiday with Zaza. He is friendly, knowledgeable and willing to talk about anything. His approach was very flexible, so both he and we included additional things based on our interests. He is punctual and is very free with his time. We learned a lot and had a very pleasurable trip to Georgia. We had Zaza’s Saperavi wine at his vineyard, together with a great meal. I thought his wine was the best one we had on our trip, and we tried a lot of wines!

Reaching here in the middle of a road trip, “Zaza” was a great host who explained all the mastery of Georgian winemaking and let us taste their products while detailing differences between grapes and tastes. I enjoyed every moment here and definitely worth it.

Проездом (случайно) зашли в ресторан Artozani в Телави. Понравилось оформление заведения, меню и ответственный подход к делу хозяина (его имя Лаша). Очень понравилось качество подаваемого вина.
За разговором с Лашей выяснилось, что вино он делает сам, и это семейное дело (отец Лаши развивает свою небольшую винодельню).
Так мы познакомились с отцом Лаши - Зазой.
Заза в дальнейшем провел нам исключительно познавательную и выпивательную (смысл про вино говорить и нормально его не пить??) экскурсию по виноделию и району Телави.
В результате Телави (да и вся Грузия) заиграли для нас новыми красками :).
Без преувеличения, на таких людях все и держится в этом мире. Тех, кто любит свое непростое дело, и делают его честно, с душой.
Всем очень рекомендуем к посещению и ресторан Artozani и винодельню Wine trails. Узнаете из первых рук много нового по виноделию,по истории Телави, а самое главное, получите Море добрых и позитивных эмоций!
Желаю этим прекрасным людям процветания бизнеса!
