The -1 floor accommodates the tasting room, conference hall and exhibition spaces, all opening to a long, partially covered terrace – a spatial void that introduces porosity into the mass, ensuring openness to the panoramic views. A decorative water pool along its edge brings reflection of movement, enriching the atmosphere of gatherings. Above, the administrative block rises as a rectangular prism framed by massive limestone columns with both smooth and rough finishes. Each vertical column echoes Kakheti’s stone walls but in a contemporary way.

The building’s character comes from a careful mix of tradition and modernity. Limestone from local quarries defines the façades catching the changing light. Brown brick, used for the base and terraces, grounds the project in the region’s vernacular. The site is enclosed with a traditional Kakhetian dry stone fence, known as the Kore [ყორე] wall. Gates, lighting fixtures and small objects on site are designed in corten steel, whose rusted texture resonates with the earthen palette of the surroundings.

Inside, the tasting hall is the project’s most emblematic space. Four rounded brick columns recall the historic Kazakhashvili House in Telavi, while a central skylight, inspired by the Georgian Darbazi house, brings daylight deep into the room. Together with the exhibition and conference spaces, the hall forms a flexible cultural hub celebrating Georgia’s 8,000-year winemaking heritage. The administrative interiors remain simple and closely connected to nature: wide views, stone and wood finishes and comfortable furniture create a calm, modern workspace. The project is envisioned as both a contemporary landmark and a respectful continuation of this ancient landscape, where architecture and viticulture share a deep history.
