Kindzmarauli is one of Georgia's most celebrated wines — a naturally semi-sweet red from the Saperavi grape, made exclusively in the Kvareli microzone on the right bank of the Alazani River. The real Kindzmarauli is nothing like the mass-produced versions sold abroad. On this tour you'll taste the difference.
The tour includes a visit to Kindzmarauli Marani winery, a tasting of 6 varieties, a walk through the vineyards, and lunch in Kvareli.
Why a Dedicated Winery Tour?
Kindzmarauli is not just a brand — it is a specific place with a unique microclimate. The vineyards sit on alluvial soils, and only here does Saperavi naturally produce its signature semi-sweet character without added sugar.

Timur's Tip
Visit in late September or October — harvest season. The vineyards turn golden and the winery hosts the Rtveli (grape harvest) festival. Book at least a week ahead in autumn: spots fill up fast.
