WineSpace, ოშხ, Sadmeli, Georgia
3 Hotel Rooms Boutique Hotel “Wine Space” is located in Racha, a captivating mountainous region of Georgia. The building where the hotel is situated has an interesting history, having been constructed before the Second World War.
It is considered unique due to its antiquity, and it stands out amongst the many abandoned houses in Racha, some of which are on the brink of collapsing.
Mariam and her husband discovered this particular house in the Kvanchkara (unique wine in Georgia) microzone, in the village of Sadmeli. They were enthralled by the stunning location and views of the house, which led them to preserve its authenticity and transform it into the “Wine Space” boutique hotel.
The hotel offers three types of rooms: small double, standard, and luxe.
The house also has a wine cellar of the same age in the backyard. Being passionate about winemaking, the family not only offers guests Rachuli wine but also cocktails and natural lemonades made using the wine. Racha has held a special place in Mariam’s heart since childhood, as her grandmother was from Racha and often spent time there. This house was discovered by Mariam and her husband, who is also from Racha.
It was their special love for Racha that decided to restore the abandoned house and bring new life into it.
Prices are quoted for 2 persons. An extra bed is available for an additional $15. If the entire villa is rented, the cost would be $182.
Racha had been part of Colchis and Caucasian Iberia since ancient times and its main town Oni was said to have been founded by King Parnajom of Iberia in the 2nd century BC. Upon the creation of the unified Georgian kingdom in the 11th century, Racha became one of the duchies (saeristavo) within it. Rati of the Baghvashi family was the first duke (Eristavi) appointed by King Bagrat III. Descendants of Rati and his son Kakhaber, the eponymous father of Racha's ruling dynasty of Kakhaberisdze, governed the province until 1278. In 1278 King David VI Narin abolished the duchy during his war against the Mongols. In the mid-14th century, the duchy was restored under the rule of the Charelidze family. The next dynasty of Chkhetidze governed Racha from 1465 to 1769. Vassals of the King of Imereti, revolted several times against the royal power. The 1678–1679 civil war resulted in the most serious consequences. In this war, Duke Shoshita II of Racha (1661–1684) supported Prince Archil, a rival of the pro-Ottoman Imeretian king Bagrat IV. On the defeat of Archil, Racha was overrun and plundered by an Ottoman punitive force. Under Rostom (1749–1769), the duchy became virtually independent from Imereti. However, towards the end of 1769, King Solomon I of Imereti managed to arrest Rostom and abolish the duchy. In 1784, King David II of Imereti revived the duchy and gave it to his nephew Anton. Local opposition attempted to use an Ottoman force to take control of Racha, but the victory of King David at Skhvava (January 26, 1786) temporarily secured his dominance in the area. In 1789, the next Imeretian king Solomon II finally abolished the duchy and subordinated the province directly to the royal administration.
