Mikheil Khidureli visited one of our successful beneficiaries, Chateau Artwine, and toured its facilities.
With the support of Enterprise Georgia’s Hotel Industry Development program "Chatteu Artwine" was opened in 2021 in the village of Artana in Kakheti. The 32-guestroom already employs 47 people, with locals accounting for 80% of the workforce. Therefore its co-founders are also planning to expand the hotel and create more job opportunities in the near future.
"Initially, the majority of the recruits were from Tbilisi, but we were able to replace them with locals over time. It was a challenging and time-consuming process, but we got there with the help of trainings and the genuine interest of the locals" - says co-founder Leila Meskhi.
Among other services, "Chatteu Artwine" provides its guests with one-of-a-kind wines made exclusively in the hotel's cellar.
Any time of year, the hotel welcomes a large number of visitors who come to Kakheti to relax or mark significant occasions.
"Chateau Artwine" is always concerned with development. It is planned to expand the area and build individual villas in the coming years.
