About us
SHUMI Winery and Estate is one of the first family wineries established in Georgia. Located in Kakheti, the heartland of Georgian winemaking, and rooted in the deep local wine traditions, we produce wines that embrace 8,000 years of winemaking history and the future of our great terroirs.
The name “SHUMI” comes from ancient Georgian and means “the best wine”. Today, it is SHUMi’s commitment to producing the best expression of Georgian wines.
The Griffin (Phaskunji in Georgian mythology) is the symbol of SHUMI. According to legend, the Griffin brought the first bunch of grapes to mankind, leading to the cultivation of the first vineyards on Earth.
SHUMI is a family-owned winery established in 1997, making it one of the first wineries in Georgia. It is located on a historic site adjacent to the A. Chavchavadze National Park and Museum in Kakheti.
With 200 hectars of vineyards, in parts organic and biodynamic, in selected PDOs, SHUMI was the first in Georgia to use these cultivation methods. The winery focuses on pairing the right terroirs with the right indigenous grape varieties.
The vineyards are located in the most important PDOs and microzones of Georgia, including Mukuzani, Napareuli, Kindzmarauli and Tsinandali.
