In 1997, the company was founded and began planting vineyards in different places. Today it has 300 hectares of grapes in various areas of Georgia. In total, there are 900 species, and more than 400 of them are grown locally. Symbol of Shumi is a griffin. According to the ancient tradition, the griffin brought grape seed and created vineyards in Georgia.
From the picturesque Sighnaghi, our way passed through the Alazani Valley to Gudauri. Maybe we were led by the mythical griffin that brought grape seed to Georgia? We have enjoyed wine, vineyards, wine museum, tastings, more wine, and more wine! And even in Telavi, after the Mimino tree, we tasted wine and chacha again. Spectacular views of the Georgian military road and the Aragvi gorge accompanied us on the way to Gudauri. It was an incredible adventure!
