Liluashvili Estate — Wine in Imereti, Georgia

Liluashvili Estate is a small, family-run wine site in the village of Shua Gora, near Vani, in the Imereti region of western Georgia. At its core is a cellar said to be about two centuries old, paired with a small family museum and the production of wine in qvevri, the traditional clay vessels associated with Georgian winemaking. Visitors are also offered Imeretian cuisine, the regional style of cooking known for dishes such as khachapuri imeruli and various bean and cheese preparations.

Vani itself is best known beyond wine for its archaeological heritage, as the site of an ancient Colchian settlement and a museum displaying finds from that period, making the surrounding area of interest to those curious about Georgia’s early history. The town lies within reach of Kutaisi, Imereti’s main urban center, which serves as a practical base and transport hub for travelers moving through the region.

The estate suits visitors interested in rural, low-key wine experiences tied to qvevri tradition, local food culture, and family heritage, particularly those already exploring Imereti’s archaeological and natural attractions.
