This year, boutique hotel "Kviria", which is located in Telavi, Kakheti, will welcome visitors to a new facility. The new cellar "Matisi" is located 7 minutes away from the Alaverdi monastery and 30 minutes from the hotel.
As the manager of the hotel, Tamar Samkurashvili told BM.GE, the guests will have the opportunity to stay in the territory of the winery and use its services.
According to her, various activities will be offered to the guests in the cellar, namely tasting of wine and traditional dishes, participation in master classes, seasonal harvesting, winemaking and chacha distilling.
"Our wine is produced in the winery "Matisi" located in the village of Pichkhovani, which we sell exclusively in the hotel. This year, we are already starting to accept reservations in Matisi, where we will offer the above-mentioned services to the customers. Accommodating one person in "Matisi" cellar is available in the range of GEL 150-250. The cost will depend on the services provided.
As for the hotel, due to the fact that we cooperate with tourist companies, we have actually booked 2024. However, there are also frequent bookings from Booking.com, among which Georgians are also active," Samkurashvili says.
According to her, about 15 people are employed in the hotel, although during the high season, they add the staff. The hotel manager also talks about the challenges and says that there is a shortage of staff in the service sector.
