Shaverge wine cellar and cottages — Wine in Kakheti, Georgia

Shaverge is a small-scale wine cellar with adjoining cottages located in Shilda village, in the Kakheti region of eastern Georgia. The cellar produces qvevri wines made from Saperavi, Rkatsiteli and Kisi grapes, following the traditional Georgian method of fermenting and ageing wine in buried clay vessels.

Shilda lies within the Alazani Valley, one of Kakheti’s principal wine-growing districts, and is within reach of regional landmarks such as the Alaverdi Cathedral and the town of Telavi, which serves as a practical base for exploring the area’s vineyards and monasteries. The surrounding countryside combines vineyard plots with views toward the Caucasus foothills, typical of the Kakheti landscape.

The property suits travelers interested in Georgia’s qvevri winemaking tradition and those planning a Kakheti wine route that takes in both cellar visits and overnight stays in a rural setting. It is best approached as part of a broader itinerary through the region’s wine villages rather than as a standalone destination.
