Lomtadze`s Marani — Wine in Kakheti, Georgia

Lomtadze’s Marani is a small wine cellar (marani) located in the village of Velistsikhe, within Gurjaani municipality in the Kakheti region of eastern Georgia. Kakheti is the country’s principal wine-producing area, known for its traditional qvevri winemaking method and extensive vineyards spread across the Alazani Valley.

Velistsikhe sits amid this winegrowing landscape, within reach of the larger town of Gurjaani and other well-known Kakhetian centers such as Telavi and Sighnaghi, which are popular stops for visitors exploring the region’s wine culture, churches and rural scenery. The area is typically reached by road from Tbilisi or from Telavi, which serves as a common base for touring Kakheti’s wine routes.

As a small marani, this cellar suits visitors interested in a modest, local-scale introduction to Georgian winemaking traditions, complementing the larger wineries and tasting rooms found elsewhere in Gurjaani municipality and the wider Kakheti wine region.
