# Bodokia winery — Wine in Imereti, Georgia > gtour.ge — G Tour, Gateway to Georgia. Cite as: GTour desk, gtour.ge. - Canonical: https://gtour.ge/georgia-places/place-bodokia-winery/ - Author: Prof. Giorgi Pkhakadze - Published: 2026-09-14 - Updated: 2026-10-26 - Language: en - Russian edition: https://gtour.ge/ru/georgia-places/place-bodokia-winery/ ### In short Bodokia winery is a wine producer located on King Tamar Street in Imereti, western Georgia. Beyond its address, the winery’s own website text made available for this profile consists solely of a map link, with no published details on its founding, vineyards, grape varieties, production methods, wine range or visitor facilities. This profile therefore sets out the confirmed location and type of business, and places it within the general context of the Imereti wine region, while being explicit about which details remain unconfirmed by the winery itself. ### The estate and its history No founding date, founder names, or historical timeline for Bodokia winery were included in the source material reviewed for this profile. Imereti is one of Georgia’s historic winemaking regions, distinct from the better-known Kakheti region in the east, with its own winemaking traditions that differ in vessel use and blending practice. Without a statement from Bodokia itself, gtour.ge cannot confirm when the estate was established, who founded it, or how the property has developed over time. - No dates or milestones are stated by the winery in the material reviewed. Readers planning a visit should treat any historical claims about Bodokia found elsewhere online with caution until verified directly with the winery, and gtour.ge will update this profile once such information is confirmed. ### Vineyards, grapes and method The winery’s own materials do not specify which grape varieties are grown or vinified at Bodokia, nor do they state vineyard size, appellation status, or annual production volumes. They also do not confirm whether wines are made using the qvevri method, traditional to Imereti and the wider country, or using European-style stainless steel and barrel methods, or a combination of both. For general context, Imereti is historically associated with a distinctive winemaking style that often involves shorter skin contact than in Kakheti, and in some cases a partial-pomace or “Imeretian method” of fermentation, alongside qvevri use. Local grape varieties commonly associated with the region include Tsitska, Tsolikouri and Krakhuna, though gtour.ge cannot confirm whether any of these are used by Bodokia specifically without a direct statement from the winery. ### The wines No specific wine names, styles, grape compositions or tasting notes for Bodokia’s range were provided in the source material. gtour.ge is therefore unable to list individual wines at this time. - Wine range not specified by the winery in the material reviewed. Once Bodokia publishes or confirms details of its wine portfolio, this section will be updated with named wines, their styles and grape varieties. ### Visiting The source material does not state whether Bodokia offers tastings, cellar tours, fixed opening hours, or a booking system, nor does it give any indication of visit pricing. Many small and mid-sized wineries in Imereti operate on an appointment basis rather than fixed public hours, so prospective visitors are advised to contact the winery directly in advance to confirm whether visits are possible and how to arrange them. ### Food and stays No information was provided regarding an on-site restaurant, guesthouse, or event hosting at Bodokia. gtour.ge cannot confirm whether the winery offers food pairings, overnight accommodation, or hosts private or public events. ### Awards No awards or competition results for Bodokia winery were stated in the material reviewed for this profile. ### Location and getting there Bodokia winery’s stated address is 50, King Tamar Street, placing it within Imereti, western Georgia. Imereti is centred on the city of Kutaisi, which lies roughly 220 to 240 kilometres west of Tbilisi, a drive that typically takes around three to four hours by car depending on route and traffic, or somewhat less by the Kutaisi-bound motorway sections now in place on parts of the journey. The exact distance and travel time from Tbilisi to the winery itself, and from the nearest town to King Tamar Street, were not specified in the source material, so travellers should confirm precise directions with the winery or a map service before setting out. Given its location in Imereti, a visit to Bodokia could in principle be combined with other regional stops such as Kutaisi’s historic sites, though gtour.ge cannot confirm whether the winery is set up to welcome drop-in visitors as part of such an itinerary without direct confirmation from Bodokia. ### Good to know - Address: 50, King Tamar Street, Imereti, Georgia. - Imereti is located in western Georgia, with Kutaisi as its principal city. - No confirmed details are available on grape varieties, vinification method, or vineyard size used by Bodokia. - No confirmed details are available on specific wine names or styles produced. - No confirmed opening hours, tasting fees, or booking procedure were stated. - No confirmed information on food service or overnight stays was provided. - Travellers should contact the winery directly ahead of a visit to confirm access, hours and any costs. - This profile will be updated as and when Bodokia publishes further verified information. ### Questions travellers ask #### Where exactly is Bodokia winery located?
