A wonderful, polite and decent guide Munir picked up and brought to the hotel, showed beautiful and exciting places, was very attentive to each participant and responsive, impressions for the whole day, there is nothing better than the mountains and the original Abkhazian nature, almost untouched by man! A very exciting tour and pleasant company. Definitely advise and recommend! With full confidence and an open heart! This is not the last time we see each other, I will definitely go again!
The tour lasted the whole day, you need to bring water with you in advance, just in case, have a snack in the car and cash, there were no problems, but this is a parting word for the particularly picky).
I really liked everything!
The guide is very polite and helps with everything.
We visited very beautiful places in Abkhazia, this trip will always be remembered by sincere people and beautiful places.
Thank you, we will be glad to take your company's tours!
My girlfriend and I took an excursion along the golden ring to Lake Ritsa. We reached the wine house, where the first tasting was held, and of course we started with wine, so that decisions about purchases and expenses could be made without interference. The tour did not include such places as Stalin's dacha, Gagra, respectively, the guide, after tasting wines and other drinks, began to pick out and roll over the ears in small groups that everyone wanted to go to Gagra, they had to pay extra, well, okay, you can go. Looking ahead, there was nothing cute or beautiful there, the beach was dirty, bottles, wrappers, no one was watching it. We walked around on our own for an hour and moved back out. So, at that moment, while we were being fed tea and a sweet bun, as later, after the whole tour, our friends shared at home in the evening that they had paid the guide for Stalin's dacha 1400, the guide also traveled by the ears, found the most gullible and, speaking in Russian, divorced. Since no one visited any cottage. Accordingly, no one returned the money after the tour. Then the situation happened with the purchase of wine. After the wine tasting in the cellar was over, everyone came out. I decided to buy a bottle of wine in a plastic container. The amount is 1300 for 1.5 liters. In the barrels, we tried again which one to dial, after deciding, the guy says go pay while at the checkout, the cash register is in the waiting room. After payment, he takes out the bottle. Sealed pretty quickly. Upon arrival at home, a bottle was opened. And to our surprise, nothing like what we were given to try in the barrel cellar)) it tastes like plus or minus apple juice with a little alcohol. It was impossible to drink it, which resulted in success, everyone can guess where)))
I have something to say about my impressions of the republic and the people. The republic is beautiful due to its nature, everything that people touch there leaves their dirty mark. There are a lot of emotions left after the tour and they are not positive, everyone who goes there, be careful, shod and unshod for mercy.
The best tour and the best winery I've ever visited. We were very kindly welcomed, and we gave them excellent quality wine and tea from the bottom of our hearts. We will definitely come again now.
Today, 02/22/2025, we went to Abkhazia - we really enjoyed the trip. The driver, who is also a guide, spoke interestingly about the sights of Abkhazia, we visited interesting places. Thanks to our guide.
Wonderful route and guide🔥 We got on this tour by accident and were satisfied! The landscape, even in early spring, was pleasing to the eyes + an interesting guide! A delicious lunch. 👌
It was 03/05/25
, I sat down first, then the rest were gathered, it was quiet.
It started after crossing the border. Well, first of all, of course, cheap tangerines.
Then he didn't change his mouth.
The story of how the republic appeared is a legend. All interesting places, locations (tips on how to behave where scammers meet)
The locations for the photo are simply beautiful and with a legend, all the legends are naturally told.
The tasting is great, I liked the beekeeper better.
I brought a snack to a wonderful cafe. I got a lot of greed, it was delicious, but I couldn't eat, I took it with me.
For each place, "It's the best thing to see to hear a hundred times"
It is quite beautiful, we were passing through with a jeep tour. They talk a lot about buying products, of course I don't know how much alcohol this is, but the meat was delicious. The tea was not delicious and Tasteless (
Well, the guys are just cutting money on tourists)
When digesting, I liked the wine, they poured it to the cap, bought it, started drinking wine like compote, there are no degrees at all, cognac and chacha with a very low degree, do not waste money, it's better to go to any ordinary store in Abkhazia and buy bottled wine.
Wine is like yuppie, chemistry and color with flavors. We liked the herbal tea at the tasting and bought a small bag. At home, when brewing, they found that it looks completely different, with large, incomprehensible leaves and without flavor. It tastes like leaves with boiling water.
Guys, don't be fooled, I don't recommend buying anything from them.
The gorgeous taste of the special wines pleased me with the freshness and my friends again. We come here every summer and bring a lot of wine home to our hometown for the whole winter.and strong drinks are pleasing and farm meat is great for a snack.
Whenever I visit the Republic of Abkhazia, I try to stop by this wine house. A large selection of various local wines. Cognacs. The price is average, not expensive, but also not cheap. They will give you a taste. And it is necessary to do this, because everyone has a different taste. The wines there are also diverse, so everyone will find something to their taste.
We went on an excursion to Abkhazia with our family. Guide Alexander brought us to this wine yard and guaranteed the quality. Disappointed is easy to say!!! Gibberish with bright flavors. The exhaust from the purchased cognac started immediately, and in the morning it was like coming out of the exhaust pipe of a chemical plant, plus the head was falling apart. We checked this " cognac " with a spirometer from a local resident for alcohol content and you won't believe it - 15 degrees!!!!
And we were warned not to take any alcohol on any Excursion, the divorce is complete!!!
There is no real wine and cognac for tourists and there never will be!!! This is a seasonal income!!! And apparently the main one!!!!!
It's a great place! There are a large number of wines, tinctures and chacha to choose from! You can buy it on tap, or you can buy it in a branded clay bottle with a sealing wax seal for a gift! The nature around is fantastic! And the products are all very high quality and delicious! I can definitely recommend it!
The rating is inflated, the number of objective reviews is 1* as it hints. Please pay close attention to technical support.
Now to the point.
They shoe the guests here in full, selling at exorbitant prices a specific piece of junk!
After a tasting trip in this place, the whole next day was spent at the toilet. At first, I attributed some rotavirus to acclimatization, the first time in the South. A couple of days later, I drank a hundred grams of muscat at lunch. I had to drink polysorb immediately, so as not to repeat the vigil at the faience friend.
Don't set foot in Abkhazia anymore! And I don't care about their untouched nature and I don't care about the Ritz! Baikal is a million times more beautiful!
I hope my review will reduce their tourist food supply a little more.
We purchased a tour of the Golden Ring of Abkhazia (Ritsa + N.Athos). On the way to O.They brought us here and then to the apiary. The tasting is illiterate. We started with sweet nutmeg, then semi-sweet wines, then dry, then chacha, cognac and balsam, and then more wine. In general, we liked all the drinks, so we took half a liter of cognac, an earthen jug with balsam and 1.5 liters of Kindzmarauli. We tried these drinks at home in a calm atmosphere. The so-called cognac and balsam are most likely made on the basis of chacha, maybe with the addition of flavors (it's too bright smell). That is, it is certainly not a real cognac. It is generally easy to drink, the head did not hurt. But according to the fortress, there are doubts that it is 40 degrees there. I think it's about 25-30. But this is subjective. We decided to test the wine by adding baking soda. Real wine changes color at the same time. We had an open bottle of Cahors from the Sukhumi winery. He changed the color. The wine bought here is not. The test was not passed. The bright aroma hints at the use of flavorings. The strength is lower than usual for wine. I would call this wine a wine or just an alcoholic drink. At the same time, the cost is overestimated by 1.5 - 2 times. For example, in a store near our hotel, such cognac cost 350 rubles per half liter against 500 rubles here. Bottled wine from Sukhumi winery costs 300 rubles for 0.75, and here 1000 rubles for 1.5 liters. For sure, the travel agency that brings tourists there gets a percentage. Tourists are not asked if they want to spend time on this or not. A mandatory program. In general, it is unpleasant to feel cheated.
On the way to the lake. Rizza, during the tour, the driver brought to this institution. Absolutely everything that is sold here under the guise of farm alcoholic beverages is a diluted fusel with sugar and nothing else. If the Internet worked in Abkhazia and you could look at reviews about this institution on the spot, much fewer people would be poisoned. In order not to seem unfounded, I attach a photo of cognac purchased in this institution, which, when measured with an alcohol meter, turned out to be 15-degree booze. The impression is terrible, the attitude towards vacationing tourists, apparently, too.
I went on an excursion, they brought me to this place.
I tried a lot of wines , it tastes like himosa and three times the road , I am very disappointed that there is such a scam in Abkhazia
Cheeses and smoked meats are good , but expensive
You can buy it in other places much cheaper and it will taste no worse
I was in this country for the first time, except for nature, otherwise one disappointment
I do not recommend this place.
It is very expensive, the wine is unnatural - chemistry. Don't waste your money, you'd better buy good wine in any Russian liquor store for that price!!!
Yes, we also took a tour of the golden ring of Abkhazia. Everything would be fine, but it overshadowed everything, this is a deception, and an impudent one! We came to a wine tasting, where we were colorfully told about wine and other drinks. They promised gifts. And as a result, the price that was announced to us was overestimated. Instead of the promised 800 rubles per liter, we were charged 1000 rubles each. My heart is rotten! Why do that?! After all, their reputation, as I see it, is already tarnished! Don't buy anything from them, liars and deceivers!
I stopped by on the way to Lake Ritsa. I tried all the wines, settled on Stalin's Favorite wine, Banchkar. I bought a poltorashka for 1000 rubles., I thought I would please my husband at home. At home, after checking the wine for quality using the method of one abhaz (put a stack in water), I was very disappointed. All the "wine" dissolved in water. It is very unpleasant that tourists are being deceived in this way. I thought Abkhazia was a country of real wine, but now it's just a disappointment. I would never recommend Abkhazian wine to my friends. They spoil their own reputation.
A great place, here they will pour you, tell you about everything and show you, and the taste of the drinks is so excellent that you want to take absolutely everything with you.
What a delicious wine at the tasting place and what a disgusting swill is sent when ordering. People, in no case order wine here, if possible, take it on the spot and that's the only way.
We were tired after the tour, for some reason we bought a couple of bottles of wine (for ourselves and relatives). We have already tried it at the hotel: we must admit that the quality leaves much to be desired: alcohol, sugar and some very bright dye. Everything they bought was thrown away at the hotel, they were not taken home. I do not recommend it, even if you are taken here by tour guides :)
All tourists who go to Lake Ritsa will definitely be dropped off here to show another "local attraction". (Apparently everyone has an agreement) I won't tell you much, the result is the same, if you want to get poisoned and spend an unforgettable night in an embrace with a toilet bowl - welcome, try everything, take barrels of wine. If you can even call it wine....after a night of fun, I took it upon myself to read what Abkhazians generally sell to tourists, under the guise of a family wine cellar. In fact, it is alcohol with all sorts of concentrates, so the taste of all wines will be sweet, even dry wine....
In general, I hope I will take someone away from this beautiful place.
The place itself is beautiful, but it is aimed at pumping money out of tourists.
Even a very mediocre photo zone is paid. What are you doing? Also, make an entrance fee. I do not recommend it
Dear tourists, there is no good wine and there will not be!!
1. You cannot call wine and cognac the liquid that is sold here.
2. There are no excursions to the production and there cannot be, since there is no production.
3. There are 5-6 counters under the guise of a tasting room, because of which something under the guise of wine is poured into a plastic cup. And then they are sold in plastic containers.
4. They say we taste and gradually raise the degree))))) Sommeliers nervously smoke on the sidelines. I told them about the tasting rule from minimum sugar to maximum - they were very surprised.
5. If a respected winemaker produces natural wine from his own raw materials, it is so little that it diverges according to its own (as in the whole of Abkhazia).
6. If you have been to Massandra or on similar tasting excursions, you will be very disappointed.
PS smoked pork and cheese are very tasty - they do not cause heartburn. (they say homemade smoked pork is naturally Krasnodar in fact).
PS PS Dear business owner! because of such "tasting rooms", everyone gets the impression that cheating is a way of life. Any taxi driver in Abkhazia will tell you - where did you drink wine? In this place? There is no wine there!!!
Everything is interesting, the tasting is interesting, but the price tag is exceeded three times. If you are on an excursion, then do not buy wine in the excursion - in Adler itself, there is exactly the same wine on every corner, the cost of 1 liter is from 300 to 450 rubles. In the wine cellar, the price of 1.5 liters of Wine is 1000 rubles. I'm a sucker of the year, I share invaluable experience🤣🤣🤣🤣
The presentation is excellent. The wine is so-so, but exorbitantly expensive.
If you drive further, then everything is the same, but cheaper.
In the cheese factory, next to each other, you can find excellent products with terry (unplanned) mold.
Try it carefully.
Excellent Abkhazian wine, cognac. I am pleasantly surprised by the quality. Excellent communication with the staff. I advise you if you have a desire and like good wine.
We bought a jug for 8 thousand, a little further away by the lake the same one costs 2500, alcohol for thousands, and in other places for 500 rubles and a half. I do not recommend it, be careful!
I read reviews, I agree, there is even a lot of one star! Prices are at least multiplied by 3, everything is very expensive. Further on the tour there is a large number of local merchants near the monastery in New Athos, here for shopping))).
Wine is not wine at all. And tea is not tea, but leaves of something else. They let me try it alone, they brewed it at home - about nothing.
👍👍👍👍👍 Super. The quality of the products is at the highest level. I recommend.

Visiting this place during an excursion to Lake Ritsa caused mixed feelings. We stopped by for wine tasting, cheese/meat and tea. I am not a connoisseur of alcohol, so I cannot give an assessment. 1.5 liters of wine in plastic costs 800 rubles. They offer hand-made clay jugs at a price of 1500 rubles, but as it turns out later, for this price you can buy a very meager jug. A standard-sized jug (about 1L) with any drink will cost 2500-3000 rubles. Remarkably, later I saw a similar jug in a grocery store, priced at about 1,500 rubles, draw your own conclusions. The tea tasting was also quite standard, different teas are poured from ordinary teapots. I am extremely surprised to see milk oolong there, which is most likely just flavored. The cheese seemed too salty, and the meat tastes good, at a price more expensive than the store. Cheese, if I'm not mistaken - 250 rubles per 100g.
There is even a lot of one star.
Deception!!!
Abkhazians will never sell wine to tourists. If they do, it's only for themselves.
All the wine that is sold is an invite with alcohol.
Don't get fooled!!!
