MIDAMO | Wine Village — Gastronomy in Kakheti, Georgia

In short

MIDAMO | Wine Village is a restaurant and natural-wine tasting venue in Kakheti, Georgia’s wine-producing region east of Tbilisi. It is run by the family behind Wine Well, a small qvevri winery, and built around guided tastings, seasonal lunches and dinners rather than a conventional à la carte menu. The restaurant describes itself as a place for “slow days among the vineyards,” combining Georgian cuisine with wines made from the family’s own vines.

The concept, the chef and the room

MIDAMO does not name a head chef on its website. Instead, it presents itself as the joint project of two people: Aleksi, who grew up among the vineyards of Kakheti and now tends them using bio and low-intervention methods, and Natia, who spent more than fifteen years working in hospitality, including hotel management, before joining the project. According to the restaurant, some of the vineyards Aleksi cares for today are more than fifty years old, and he was among those who chose to plant Kakhuri Mtsvane at a time when most growers in the area favoured Rkatsiteli.

The winery itself, Wine Well, is described as having started small: the restaurant says the first vintage produced only 150 bottles, made in qvevri and shared mostly with friends and family, with empty bottles collected from local bars and reused for lack of a dedicated supply. MIDAMO is presented as the next step in that story, bringing the vineyard and winery together with a dedicated space for guests — tastings hosted by the winemaker, vineyard walks, seasonal lunches, candlelit dinners and other gatherings organised around a shared table. The website speaks of this as “an invitation into vineyard life” rather than a restaurant in the conventional sense, and no separate description of the dining room, terrace or interior design is given on the site.

What to order

MIDAMO does not publish a food menu with named dishes; lunches and dinners are instead offered as part of tasting formats (see below). The wines listed by the restaurant, all made from its own Kakhetian vineyards and bottled in 750 ml format, are:

• Saperavi 2023 — an earlier vintage of Kakheti’s signature red grape.
• Saperavi 2024 — a more recent vintage of the same red variety.
• Kakhuri Mtsvane 2024 — white wine from the Mtsvane variety Aleksi chose to plant against local convention.
• Kakhuri Mtsvane 2025 — the following year’s vintage of the same white grape.
• Kisi 2024 — white wine from the Kisi grape, traditional to Kakheti.
• Kisi 2025 — a later vintage of Kisi.
• Kisi-Mtsvane 2024 — a blend of Kisi and Mtsvane.
• Rkatsiteli 2025 — white wine from Rkatsiteli, the most widely planted grape in Kakheti.
• Khikhvi 2025 — white wine from the Khikhvi variety.
• Mtsvivani 2025 — white wine from the Mtsvivani grape.

The website does not give tasting notes, prices or qvevri-versus-steel information for individual bottles beyond the vintage and grape names above.

Menus, hours and prices

MIDAMO offers two booking formats on its website: a “wine tasting” and a “tasting + lunch.” Guests choose an arrival time from set slots between 11:00 and 18:00 when making a booking request. The restaurant does not publish fixed opening days, a food menu, or prices for either format on its website; visitors are told that the team will follow up after a booking request to confirm details and help plan the visit.

Reservations and practical details

Visits are arranged by booking request through the MIDAMO website, where guests select a tasting or tasting-plus-lunch format and a preferred time slot and add a short note about their visit. The restaurant can also be contacted directly by phone at +995 555 255 445 or by email at hello@midamovillage.ge. The website states that after a request is submitted, the team will confirm details and help plan the visit, describing this as the start of “your Kakheti experience.”

Location and getting there

The address supplied for this listing is 203 Abibo Nekreseli Street. MIDAMO’s own contact page, however, gives its location as Kvareli Municipality, village Akhalsopeli — within Kakheti’s Kvareli district, an area long associated with wine production. Visitors should confirm the exact address when booking, since the restaurant operates from its vineyard and winery site rather than a town-centre premises. Kakheti lies east of Tbilisi and is typically reached by road; as with most wineries in the region, a private car, taxi or organised tour transfer is the practical way to get there, since public transport does not run directly to individual vineyard sites.
