Located 10 km from Telavi there is a big village of Tsinandali , the well-known wine-growing settlement where the patrimonial estate of Chavchavadze princes is. In the manor there is Chavchavadze Museum with furniture and personal things of the princes. The museum is surrounded by magnificent park with a chapel where Alexander Griboedov married Nina Chavchavadze. In this park Alexander Chavchavadze founded the wine cellars in hopes of turning the traditional craft into an industry. That was how the oldest wine factory was set up in Georgia . The factory still produces rare grades of wines and is open for tourists as well as 16,000-bottle wine cellars with sampling. |
