1. Kvareli Foundation for Contemporary Art is conceived as more than an exhibition space - it is an integrated cultural environment where art, landscape, and hospitality coexist.
   
   

   Set within an expansive estate in Kakheti, the Foundation includes the five-star The House Hotel Kvareli, allowing visitors to experience exhibitions and programs in direct continuity with their surroundings. The grounds - comprising vineyards, a working winery, orchards, and wooded areas - form a living landscape that actively shapes the institution's identity.
   
   

   This experience extends through architectural and outdoor elements, including a rooftop amphitheatre for screenings and performances, and open spaces for large-scale and site-specific works. Together, these components position the Foundation as a destination where contemporary art unfolds in direct relation to environment, context, and time.

accommodation

The hotel at Kvareli Foundation for Contemporary Art is conceived as an integral part of the estate, embedded within its landscape rather than separate from it.

Set among vineyards and woodland, the architecture is defined by a restrained, contemporary language that emphasizes proportion, materiality, and light. Guest rooms and shared spaces are oriented toward the surrounding environment, creating a calm, immersive atmosphere, while amenities are seamlessly integrated into the broader rhythm of the site.

In this context, the hotel functions not simply as accommodation, but as a place of residence within the Foundation's cultural environment.

WINERY

The estate's winery, Vazovani, operates as a small-scale production facility in which winemaking is approached as a precise and continuous process.

Working exclusively with estate-grown grapes, Vazovani maintains full control from cultivation to bottling, ensuring a direct relationship between land and production. Traditional Georgian methods are preserved within this system and combined with contemporary technologies, allowing for a balance between inherited practice and technical precision.

Integrated into the broader estate, Vazovani functions not only as a site of production, but as part of the Foundation's larger environment - where processes of cultivation and making exist in close dialogue with the cultural and spatial context of the Foundation.

GUIDED TOURS

The Kvareli Foundation for Contemporary Art offers guided tours both across its grounds and throughout the wider region of Kakheti.

On-site tours provide insight into the Foundation's exhibitions, architecture, and landscape, and include a visit to the estate's winery, Vazovani, where visitors can observe the wine production process firsthand. These are complemented by curated visits to Kakheti's cultural landmarks, including historic towns and monastic complexes such as the Alaverdi Monastery, situating the Foundation within a broader historical and cultural context.

Together, these tours extend the Foundation's program beyond its physical site, framing it within the layered cultural geography of Kakheti.
