Chateau Zegaani (Zegaani)

Georgia / Kakheti / Gurjaani / Zegaani
Chateau Zegaani is a wine estate built in 1820 by Prince Alexander Chavchavadze, a great political and cultural figure of the 19th century, as well as the founder of Georgian viticulture. The Chateau is located in Kakhetia, the main wine-producing region of Georgia. Today it is a great historic and architectural asset for studying the development of wine-making in the region and provides evidence of the significant French influence in the process. Alexander Chavchavadze built the estate in the fashion of the majority of French wine chateaux of the early 19th century upon his return from France. This is precisely why the castle in Zegaani, Kakhetia, is also referred to as Chateau.
