Avalishvili’s Marani — Wine in Imereti, Georgia

Avalishvili’s Marani is a small wine cellar in the Imereti region, producing natural wines from indigenous Imeretian grape varieties. The register description notes that the wines are made in a natural style, reflecting the local winemaking traditions of this part of western Georgia.

Imereti is one of Georgia’s historic winemaking regions, distinct from Kakheti in both grape varieties and style, with Tsitska, Tsolikouri and Krakhuna among the grapes typically associated with the area. The region centres on Kutaisi, Georgia’s third-largest city, home to the Bagrati Cathedral and within reach of the Gelati Monastery and natural sites such as Okatse Canyon and Prometheus Cave. The cellar sits on a local street within this broader area, reachable by road from Kutaisi or other Imeretian towns.

This is a suitable stop for travellers interested in Georgian natural wine and regional grape varieties rarely found outside Imereti, particularly those already exploring Kutaisi and its surrounding landmarks.
