A collection of thirty-five vines at Bukistsikhe

The marani of Teimuraz Sharashidze stands in the village of Bukistsikhe, on the right bank of the Supsa, at about two hundred metres. He has been gathering his collection of vines since 1995; it holds thirty-five varieties.

The main wine of the house is chkhaveri, made here long and steadily. Other Gurian varieties from the collection grow alongside it.

Guests are received: tasting, treading grapes, making churchkhela, baking bread, distilling chacha, opening a qvevri, and in autumn one can join the rtveli.
