Marani Khazhalia is a small, family-owned winery situated in the village of Geguti, in the heart of Imereti — one of Georgia’s most historic winemaking regions, long associated with traditional qvevri fermentation and indigenous grape varieties. The winery offers visitors a chance to experience Imeretian wine culture on an intimate, personal scale, away from larger commercial producers.

Geguti lies close to Kutaisi, Imereti’s regional center, making the winery easily reachable by road from the city. The area is known for the ruins of the medieval Geguti Palace, once a royal residence, and sits within reach of other regional attractions such as Bagrati Cathedral, Gelati Monastery, and the karst landscapes of Sataplia and Prometheus Cave. The surrounding countryside is characteristic of Imereti’s gentle hills and vineyards, offering a quieter, rural counterpoint to the more touristed sites of Kutaisi.

This winery suits travelers interested in small-scale, family-run wine production and those exploring Imereti’s cultural and natural landmarks beyond the main city. It is a fitting stop for visitors combining wine tourism with a broader tour of the region’s historic and scenic sites.
