Tsertsvadze Wine Cellar — Wine in Ajara, Georgia

In short

Tsertsvadze Wine Cellar is a small, family-run winery in Ajara, in Georgia’s southwestern corner, at Rustaveli street 240. Public information about the business is limited to its listing on Google Maps and its physical address; the operation has not published a website, tasting menu, or press material of its own that gtour.ge has been able to verify beyond the location itself. This profile sets out what can be confirmed, along with the general context a visitor needs to plan a stop, and will be updated as and when the winery publishes more detail or responds to direct enquiries.

The estate and its history

No founding date, founder’s name, or family history has been published by the winery itself. The surname Tsertsvadze is common in western Georgia, including in Ajara and neighbouring Guria, and the cellar’s name follows the regional convention of naming a small producer after the family that runs it, which is typical of the home-cellar culture found across Georgia’s wine-producing regions. Beyond that, gtour.ge has not been able to verify when the cellar was established, who currently runs it, or whether it has passed between generations.

Because no timeline has been made public, we recommend treating any dates found on third-party booking sites or social media with caution until confirmed directly with the cellar.

Vineyards, grapes and method

The winery has not published figures for the size of its vineyard holdings, annual volumes, or the grape varieties it works with, nor has it stated whether it uses the qvevri (clay vessel) method traditional across Georgia, European stainless-steel or barrel methods, or a combination of both. For context, Ajara is not one of Georgia’s larger appellation regions in the way Kakheti is, but the wider Ajara-Guria coastal belt has a documented tradition of small-scale, often household-level winemaking, built around indigenous varieties suited to the region’s humid, subtropical climate. Chkhaveri, a native red grape associated with this coastal strip, is the variety most commonly cited in general accounts of local viticulture here, alongside white varieties such as Tsolikouri that are grown more widely across western Georgia. These are offered as background on the region rather than as a description of what Tsertsvadze Wine Cellar itself plants or bottles, since the cellar has not confirmed its own varietal list.

Travellers who want specifics on hectares under vine, harvest volumes, or whether the cellar follows qvevri or European vinification should ask directly when booking a visit, as this detail is not currently available from any source gtour.ge could verify.

The wines

No named wines, vintages, or tasting notes have been published by the winery. We are not able to list specific labels, blends, or prices until the cellar makes this information available or confirms it on request.

Visiting

The winery has not published opening hours, a booking system, tasting fees, or a description of what a visit includes. Small family cellars of this kind in Georgia typically operate informally, welcoming visitors by prior arrangement rather than on a walk-in basis, and a phone call or message ahead of arrival is generally advisable with this type of operation. Until the cellar confirms otherwise, prospective visitors should assume that advance contact is necessary and that tastings, if offered, are arranged on a case-by-case basis rather than at fixed times.

Food and stays

No restaurant, guesthouse, or event space has been mentioned in connection with Tsertsvadze Wine Cellar. If the cellar offers food pairings, a supra-style meal, or accommodation, this has not been stated publicly and should be confirmed directly before planning a visit around it.

Awards

No awards, medals, or competition results have been published by the winery, and none can be verified at this time.

Location and getting there

The confirmed address is Rustaveli street 240, Ajara. Rustaveli street is a long thoroughfare found in many Georgian towns, named after the medieval poet Shota Rustaveli, and in Ajara it runs as a principal road through and around Batumi, the region’s capital on the Black Sea coast. The street number given suggests a location some distance from the city centre, likely along the route heading out of Batumi toward surrounding villages, though gtour.ge has not independently confirmed the exact settlement.

Ajara lies in Georgia’s southwest, bordering Turkey, and Batumi is roughly 350 kilometres from Tbilisi by road, a drive that typically takes between five and six hours depending on route and traffic, or about an hour by domestic flight. Most visitors reach this part of the country as part of a wider Ajara itinerary that combines the Black Sea coast at Batumi with inland stops in the mountains around Keda, Khulo, and the Goderdzi area, and a visit to a small cellar such as this one would most practically be built into a day exploring villages outside Batumi rather than treated as a standalone trip from the capital.

Given the lack of published hours or a dedicated phone line on the winery’s own materials, gtour.ge recommends confirming the exact location via map coordinates and calling ahead before setting out, particularly if travelling from Tbilisi or Batumi specifically for the visit.

Good to know

• Opening hours, prices, and booking procedure are not publicly stated
• Grape varieties and winemaking method (qvevri or European) are not confirmed
• No named wines or vintages have been published
• No restaurant or guesthouse is mentioned in connection with the site
• Ajara’s main city, Batumi, is roughly five to six hours from Tbilisi by road
• Rustaveli street in Ajara runs through and beyond Batumi, so confirm the exact stretch before travelling
• Contacting the cellar in advance is advisable given the informal nature typical of small family wineries in this region

Questions travellers ask

Is Tsertsvadze Wine Cellar open to the public without booking?

This is not stated. Small family cellars in Georgia often require advance contact rather than accepting walk-in visitors, so it is best to call or message ahead before arriving.

What wines does Tsertsvadze Wine Cellar produce?

The winery has not published a list of its wines, grape varieties, or vintages. This information should be requested directly from the cellar.

Does the winery use the qvevri method?

This has not been confirmed by the winery. Qvevri winemaking is a tradition found across Georgia, but it is not possible to state whether this particular cellar follows it without direct confirmation.

How far is the winery from Tbilisi?

Ajara is roughly 350 kilometres from Tbilisi, with Batumi, the regional capital, around five to six hours away by road or about an hour by flight. The exact distance to the winery’s address on Rustaveli street would depend on its precise location relative to Batumi.

Can a visit be combined with other sights in Ajara?

Yes, in general terms. Ajara pairs a Black Sea coastline around Batumi with mountain villages inland toward Khulo and Keda, and a stop at a small cellar would typically fit into a day trip through this wider area rather than stand alone, though the winery’s own visiting arrangements have not been confirmed.
