An ordinary bottling plant, under the guise of a "historical estate", is forbidden to take photos in order to prepare tourists for a divorce to buy overpriced wines and gain a price. Guides without education, i.e. essentially "watchmen". They walk around shouting not to take pictures of anything, otherwise, for the sake of three rooms furnished with chaotic furniture of different years, collected at the nearest flea market, no one will come to their bottling plant. I have seen similar methods of "divorcing tourists" in Turkey.
This place is worth getting off the main road and looking into the Tsinandali estate. Guides call this place "Griboyedov's mother-in-law's Park". You can write a novel and make a movie about Alexander Sergeevich and his beautiful wife Nino. This house and the park are great decorations. But they are not the main characters here.
The owner of the estate, Prince Alexander Chavchavadze, was the greatest figure of Georgian culture, a winemaker and a romantic. If you are lucky enough to have a guide, you will remember this place forever.
Unfortunately, you can't take pictures in the house museum. And they also gathered us into one big group of forty people and gave some stupid girl as a guide. Someone said that she used to work at a tasting. The story was reduced to two or three sentences in each room. Most of us didn't have time to see or hear anything. Tasting does not cost money, it is carried out formally, because there are a lot of tourists. There are many places in Kakheti where you can and should taste wine.
A huge gorgeous park. A very large collection of plants, many of which are several centuries old. A well-maintained territory, on which there is a manor museum and an enoteca with a large collection of wines. The museum offers guided tours in three languages. The museum staff answers questions about what they want to explain. Very informative.
