His hobby will definitely be an inspiration. #mustvisit #cheersPosted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Вено было отлично и Заза очень дружелюбный и великолепный человек. Из всех виноделен это самое лучшее!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Заза, от всей нашей семьи - бесконечное спасибо за ваше гостеприимство, щедрость, прекрасные истории, душевные разговоры! Будем непременно рассказывать друзьям и знакомым, советовать всем вашу винодельню. Спасибо дорогам и счастливому случаю, которые нас к вам привели!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Небольшая семейная винодельня, где делают чачу и вино, по старинной грузинской традиции — в квеври, глиняных сосудах, зарытых в землю. Мы приехали без записи, и, хотя нас никто не ждал, хозяева приняли невероятно душевно: всё показали, рассказали, угостили и накормили, будто старых друзей. Два добрых, открытых человека поделились историей своего дела, рассказали о жизни в селе и о том, как менялись отношения между Россией и Грузией. Мы попробовали пять видов домашней чачи, купили их вино и даже сами укупоривали бутылки, закрывая их пробками. 🍷 Место, где всё делается с любовью — от первой капли вина до последнего тоста. ❤️Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had such a fantastic wine tasting experience at Wine Trails! Zaza is so warm and welcoming. We arrived without a reservation and he was happy to welcome us onto the winery and give us a tour! He explained the whole winemaking process to us and offered us some delicious wines and cha cha to taste! He sent us home with parting gifts as well. Zaza has a real love for his craft and a love of sharing it with others, which made this experience so unique and intimate . I highly recommend that anyone in the area visit Wine Trails Winery!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We went there by chance and were warm welcomed. We got a really nice tour of their history and wine making. It was great tasting and really good discussion of what’s important in life, i.e happiness and wine. This is also just worth a stop for having one glass and enjoying the mountains. Thanks ZazaPosted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very nice evening at Wine Trails. Great wine and delicious food from 2 passionate guys. As a beer brewer I learned a lot from them towards wine and when I return I bring some of my own brews to balance their wine experience. Looking forward to the next visit.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Una experiencia genial en el viñedo, buenas explicaciones, sin prisa, sin agobios.
