Babaneuris Marani is a vineyard, winery and boutique hotel, nestled in the foothills of the Greater Caucasus mountain range, within sight of the major historic and cultural sites of Kakheti. The vineyard is granted all necessary conditions for the production of a unique and an exquisite wine, ideal in its soil, elevation (550 meters above the sea level), environment and climate.

They make and keep wines inspired by the ancient Georgian traditional method of wine-making which takes its roots from early 5000 BC, in the same way it has been done in Georgia for over 8,000 years. The main advantage Qvevri wine is its body and taste profile. The wine produced with this method is considerably more potent in structure.

Wine is their life, passion, love, and work at Babaneuri.

“We planted the vine, watched it grow and mature,” they say. “Each phase of wine lifecycle is important for us and we are involved in all stages, from initial care, continuing with pressing and sharing the result with our guests.”

They use handpicked grapes from their own vineyards and produce a limited quantity of wine. Their vineyards are cultivated on 10 hectares along the Babaneuri Strict Nature Reserve. They produce natural and unfiltered wines from four Georgian grape varietals: Rkatsiteli, Kakhetian Mtsvane, Kisi and Saperavi. The place of origin of Kisi is Babaneuri and exclusive quantities are produced.

Their wine is sold in France, Germany, the Netherlands and United States. To taste very limited verities of Babaneuri wine, visit their cellar.

In 2017, Babaneuri opened the boutique hotel Babaneuris Marani, located in the middle of their vineyards and nestled on the slopes just under the Babaneuri Strict Nature Reserve. The hotel overlooks the whole of Kakheti and welcomes guests with delicious traditional wines, amazing food, beautiful walks through the forests, and a warm family welcome.
