Guramishvili's Marani

The history of „Guramishvili's Marani“ dates back to the first half of the 19th century, when Tadeoz Guramishvili built the family cellar. In its artistic and architectural value the marani is one of the most interesting examples of Georgian secular architecture. It is listed as an architectural monument.
In 1863 Ilia Chavchavadze took charge of the marani. That same year he married Tadeoz's daughter, Olga Guramishvili. From then begins the marani's history under Ilia.

According to historical sources, the Saguramo vineyards adjoining the marani were planted with the endemic vine varieties of Kartli, which belonged to Ilia Chavchavadze and the Guramishvili family. The marani was precisely the place where Ilia himself pressed the grapes harvested from those vineyards and matured the wine in qvevri. After the tragic death of Ilia Chavchavadze, Guramishvili's Marani stood for a long time weathered by time and full of expectation.

In 2015 KTW Group restored „Guramishvili's Marani“ to its original appearance and revived the unique endemic vine varieties of Kartli in Ilia's vineyards.
Today still and sparkling wine is produced in limited quantities at „Guramishvili's Marani“. The brand „Guramishvili's Marani“ holds numerous international awards and medals.
