The history of Guramishvili’s Marani dates back to the first half of the 19th century, when Tadeoz Guramishvili built the family wine cellar. With its architectural and artistic value, the marani stands as one of the most remarkable examples of Georgian secular architecture and is listed as a cultural heritage monument. In 1863, Ilia Chavchavadze took over the marani after marrying Tadeoz Guramishvili’s daughter, Olga. From that moment, the marani’s legacy became inseparably linked to Ilia's name.

According to historical sources, endemic grape varieties native to Kartli were cultivated in the Saguramo vineyards surrounding the marani. These vineyards belonged to Ilia Chavchavadze and the Guramishvili family. The marani itself was the very place where Ilia personally pressed the grapes harvested from these vineyards and aged the wine in traditional qvevri clay vessels. After Ilia Chavchavadze’s tragic death, Guramishvili’s Marani stood still for many years — filled with silence and the weight of memory.

In 2015, KTW Group restored Guramishvili’s Marani to its original form and revived the unique, endemic grape varieties of Kartli in Ilia’s historic vineyards. Today, Guramishvili’s Marani produces both still and sparkling wines in limited quantities. The Guramishvili’s Marani brand is a proud recipient of numerous international awards and medals.
