Kvevri Wine Museum at Twins Wine House
Description
In the Kakhetian village of Napareuli, the Twins Wine House runs the Museum of Qvevri and Qvevri Wine. Twin brothers Gia and Gela Gamtkitsulashvili founded it in 2014, and the owners call it the world's only qvevri wine museum. It has five exhibition spaces, an eight-metre qvevri monument and a marani (wine cellar).
The main exhibit is three 500-litre qvevri cut open by a third and covered with glass: through them you see the whole process — crushing, fermentation, self-cleaning, natural filtration, and drawing off the wine and chacha. Next to them are the house's collection of aged wines, archive photographs, and displays on Georgian grape varieties, qvevri, the marani and the wine press.
The wine house has four cellars. The open one holds 67 qvevri, where you can attend a qvevri opening and taste the freshly opened wine. Its Saperavi and Rkatsiteli vineyards went organic in 2015, and the house received an organic certificate in 2019. Besides the museum and cellar tour, it offers tastings and cooking masterclasses: khachapuri, khinkali, tone-baked shoti bread and churchkhela.
