The interior blends rustic Georgian charm with a sophisticated, modern touch, reflecting the personality of our selection. Whether you are looking for a quiet corner to unwind after a day of sightseeing or a vibrant space to discuss tasting notes with friends, the atmosphere here is curated to make you feel at home.
The Art of the Selection
At Nino Meris Wine Selection, we believe that every bottle tells a story. Our collection is handpicked, focusing on artisan and family-owned maranis (cellars) that you won’t find on supermarket shelves. We specialize in:
-
Qvevri Wines: Experience the “amber” or orange wine that Georgia is famous for, fermented in traditional clay vessels buried underground.
-
Rare Varietals: Beyond the well-known Saperavi and Rkatsiteli, we introduce our guests to rare grapes like Kisi, Khikhvi, and Shavkapito.
-
Organic and Natural Wines: We prioritize winemakers who respect the land, offering a selection of biodynamic and low-intervention wines.
A Curated Tasting Experience
What sets us apart is our commitment to education and storytelling. A visit to Nino Meris is a guided wine tasting experience. Our knowledgeable staff (and often Nino herself) are passionate about explaining the nuances of different regions—from the fertile valleys of Kakheti to the humid highlands of Imereti and Racha.
We offer tailored wine flights that allow you to compare styles, vintages, and terroirs. To complement your glass, we provide a menu of traditional Georgian appetizers, including artisanal cheeses, cured meats, and freshly baked bread, all designed to elevate the flavor profiles of our wines.
