39Qvevri
A brief history
The main value of the "39 Qvevri" cellar is traditional Georgian wine, created from local grape varieties and aged in an old traditional way - in qvevri.
Our goal was to produce traditional wine, so we decided to build a winery in the village of Bitsmendi, one of the most significant historical places in Kartli, the center of viticulture and winemaking. We also set up our vineyard here, where we grow four Georgian
grape varieties (Shavkapito, Goruli Mtsvane, Kisi, and Khikhvi).
Bitsmendi has a special historical significance and is associated with famous traditional Georgian winemakers such as Guramishvili, with his famous vineyards and cellars, or Ilya Tsinamdzgvrishvili, one of the most prominent figures of the 19th century, founder and teacher of the Tsinamdzgvriantkari Agricultural School.
Our values and visions are based on this tradition.
The village of Bitsmendi is located in the eastern part of Georgia, in the north-eastern part of the Mukhran-Saguramo plain, belonging to the Mtskheta municipality of the Mtskheta-Mtianeti region. It is surrounded by the gorges of Akhtan and Rusiskhevi, while from the north it borders vast forests. The village is located at an altitude of 620-650 m above sea level, at a distance of 20 kilometres from the city of Mtskheta.
