On the way to Kakheti, near Telavi there is a new destination for wine lovers and not only for them. Special experiences are so easy to find with a large room for creativity and enough infrastructure to make everyone happier.This is the winery Mosmieri, situated in the vineyards in the village of Kisiskhevi. It has a large restaurant which can hold more than 200 persons at one time. A nice courtyard with a fountain, a large lounge terrace, where from you can have a spectacular 360° panorama of Caucasus Mountain and Alazani Valley make a warm atmosphere for travelers especially when there soon will be a hotel with a swimming pool.
And what more… A watching tower, having a traditional style with modern elements, a wine store with wine tasting area and a spacious storage rooms in the basement. The winery produces 5 kinds of 200 000 bottles of wine yearly and they aren’t going to increase the number, as they are focused on quality.
