It took us over a decade to finally make it to Schuchmann Wines Château & Spa, and it was well worth the wait! We’ve spent years recommending this stunning winery hotel to visiting friends and business partners, yet somehow, we had never experienced it firsthand—until now.
Back in 2011, when I first relocated to Georgia, Schuchmann Wines was already on my radar. Nestled in the heart of Kakheti, near Telavi, it seemed like the perfect place for a retreat, yet circumstances always got in the way. In fact, we even booked a stay about 10 years ago, but without a car, reaching the hotel from Sighnaghi proved too challenging.
Fast forward to 2025, and we finally made it—hosting our annual corporate event for Caucasus Translations in this magnificent setting.
The Experience: A Blend of Luxury and Authenticity
Schuchmann Wines Château is more than just a hotel; it’s a luxurious escape for wine lovers, spa enthusiasts, and corporate groups alike.
From the moment we arrived, the charm of the German-inspired interior was evident. No surprise there—the owner, a retired German Railways chairman, has infused the property with European elegance while preserving its authentic Georgian soul.
Among the highlights of our stay:
🍷 The Spa & Wellness Facilities – A hot indoor swimming pool, wine baths, and a mini-golf course—yes, wine baths! A unique experience that truly sets Schuchmann apart.
🏡 The Accommodation – The cozy yet elegant rooms made for a relaxing stay, blending Georgian warmth with German precision in design.
🍽 Dining & Wine – The restaurant served exquisite Georgian cuisine, paired, of course, with Schuchmann’s famous wines. Every dish was a reminder of why Georgian food culture is so special.
A Bargain for Corporate Retreats
For a group of 12 people, our total bill came to just over 3,000 GEL—covering at least six rooms, dining, and spa access. That’s roughly $100 per person, making it an absolute bargain for such a high-end experience.
Final Verdict: Highly Recommended
Our long-awaited stay at Schuchmann Wines Château & Spa did not disappoint. The combination of breathtaking views, exceptional service, and world-class wine experiences makes this a must-visit destination for both personal getaways and corporate events.
Would we return? Absolutely. If you're in Georgia, make sure Schuchmann is on your list—don’t wait 10+ years like we did!
