Savalan ASPI Winery

Imagine pure, crystal-clear water cascading down from the great Caucasus Mountains, winding its way through the lavish land in the foothills of the valley and suffusing the sun-bathed vines. These ripe, abundant grapes are then collected and handled with care and love before being transformed by the apparent magic of a master into wine. This is what happens every year at the vineyards of ASPI AGRO

I love tasting different wines and therefore have always dreamed of visiting a winery.This one is not big one but really worth a visit.They let us go inside to their production area and have explained us about their production,operation and how they carried out their marketing.They do sell across Europe and their production is less compared to the market demand. They took us to the cellar where they have arranged for wine tasting.They gave us Red,white and Rose wines with different tastes. The experience was altogether awesome.The environment is totally family and kids friendly.

Beautifully presented in a way that only oil money can achieve. Quite apart from the fact that a historically-significant building was removed to make way for this, the design seems antithetical to what is actually quite a serious museum. The contents are, quite simply, fabulous - an amazing collection of subtle art and craftsmanship spanning centuries. Including, at the end, several Faig Ahmed creations which, if I had a spare $50k, i would be very tempted by. The gift shop is of the usual high quality with some very good collections of postcards of the museum contents.
