An environment where visitors feel sincere hospitality and family warmth from the very first second. The ancient walls built by ancestors have been preserved in the cellar, creating a historic and completely authentic mood. This is a space where the guest is not just an observer, but through wine tasting, listening to stories, and taking masterclasses, personally becomes a co-participant in Guria's unique heritage.

BEST TIME TO VISIT

A visit to "Armunji" Marani is unforgettable in any season of the year, though autumn is particularly interesting. From late September to late November is the harvest (rtveli) season, where guests can directly experience the charm and magic of this process.
