🌧 Rainy Day Plan

In case of rain, the experience continues without interruption. We will use pre-picked grapes and continue the full traditional process inside the wine cellar, including grape crushing in satsnakheli and fermentation activities. Guests will still enjoy wine making, tasting, BBQ preparation, masterclasses, and the full Rtveli dinner experience indoors at the Marani (wine cellar).
