The experience, from start to finish, was easily the most enjoyable, rewarding, educating and delicious food and wine experiences I have ever had. When we arrived at Demetrashvili Family Winery the hostess, Tamara and her husband, greeted us with such a genuine and familiar warmth that you felt, after 5 minutes of being there, as if you were part of the family... from that moment on the evening was a whirlwind of amazing wine and stories of the delicious food we were eating and it's connection to the magnificent land and views we were surrounded by.

My wife and I got married in Sighnaghi and came straight to Demertashvili Family Winery for celebrations and a wonderful dinner. The family running it, the location and tasty Kakhetian food was something I will never forget. They made every effort to make sure our special day was a memorable one. We were served their amazing homemade bio wine and the best dishes from the region, along with beautiful handpicked wild flowers for decoration. I really can't thank them enough for making it happen. Best place to go in all of Sighnaghi and perhaps even the Caucasus!

We were a group of 22 persons from Finland searching for a typical Georgian place with good food and good wine, not a touristic place like all the others, but a private home. At Tamara's parents-in-law we found what we were searching for: a real lovely family, who prepared for us the best meal what we ever could imagine, tasty homemade organic wine and delicious chacha, even a really touching love story where everybody got tears into their eyes. If you ever have an opportunity to visit this place, please do it! You will always keep it in your heart.

Demetrashvili Family winery, "marani" in Georgian language, was established at the beginning of XX century. Bottling of our organic wine "Damere" we started in 2020, as soon as we purchased all necessary equipment. By that time we have host thousands travelers from 47 countries for wine tasting, culinary classes and Georgian feast at our winery&vineyards. Generation by generation family vineyards at Alazany Valley are treated with full dedication. Perfect microclimate of the microzone in Kiziki, Kakheti Region of Georgia, gives us opportunity of the earliest quality grape harvest at the beginning of September. We are using certified in Europe supplies for organic agriculture, thus our wine and chacha does not contain any pesticides or other chemicals harmful for health, thus inside is a minimum quantity of sulfur needed for disinfection of bottles. We are carefully collecting selected grapes, tourists with pleasure participate in harvest festive. Then we press it using old wooden equipment called "satsnakheli", while listening to the songs of the world known Gamlet Gonashvili, directly to qvevri* - egg form clay vessels buried in the ground. Natural process of skin contact fermentation starts. Day and night we are mixing it using cheery tree stick for three weeks period. Afterwords qvevri are hermetically closed for maceration for at least for six month. Family winery is run by Zakro and Aleksandre Demetrashvili, father and son, the idea of branding wine and hosting guests from all over the world was initiated by the daughter-in-law Tamara Ninidze. Wine tasting usually performed by wife of Zakro, Eka Khmaladze. Our tannic wine is produced with our own hands, with love and respect to Georgian traditions.
*History of Georgian winemaking in qvevri counts 8000 years. In 2013, UNESCO added the traditional Georgian method of making wine in qvevri as Qvevri Wine to its list of worlds intangible cultural heritage.
