Vazisubani Estate
Aristocratic wine estate meets understated boutique hotel. Victorian antiques and heritage textures throughout, but the design — by architect Gaga Kiknadze and interior designer Nestan Vardiashvili — keeps things from feeling stuffy. The restaurant is all floor-to-ceiling glass and Caucasus Mountain views. Think English country house crossed with Kakhetian winery.
Book a guided tasting with the head winemaker Lado Uzunashvili (an 11th-generation winemaker with wins at over 150 international competitions) — it's one of the highlights.
Why It Matters
One of the only Michelin Guide and Tablet Hotels-listed properties in Georgia's wine country. The estate is a working winery producing five indigenous Georgian grape varieties (Saperavi, Rkatsiteli, Kisi, Khikhvi, and Kakhuri Mtsvane) from qvevri-fermented wines. Interiors outfitted with authentic Victorian-era English antiques — every piece sourced from UK auction houses. It earned a 9.4 rating on Booking.com and has been compared by guests to a Napa Valley resort at a fraction of the price.
A 19th-century Georgian nobleman's palace turned 19-room boutique hotel, sitting on 35 hectares of working vineyards in the Kakheti wine region. Built in 1891 by Sulkhan Chavchavadze and restored starting in 2013, the property combines authentic Victorian-era English antique furniture — sourced from UK auction houses including Mallams and Dreweatts — with a glass-walled restaurant overlooking the Alazani Valley. The 140-year-old cellar still produces qvevri wines using the same clay-vessel method Georgia pioneered 8,000 years ago.
