In Gori municipality, Ateni, wine cellar \"Chateau Ateni\" was opened. New family cellar presentation of the Vanishvili was attended by deputy minister of Agriculture, Levan Davitashvili, head of National Wine Agency, Giorgi Samanishvili, head of National Tourism Administration, Giorgi Chogovadze and representatives of native government.

The deputy minister of Agriculture mentioned, that opening of such family cellars is very important for development of the winery field.

\"Opening of such family cellars is very important for both, Atenuri wine category and agro-tourism and wine industry development. Atenuri is very popular grape type and unfortunately, few wine of this type is produced. Such valuable, small and medium family industry can promote maintenance and development of this popular name\"-stated Levan Davitashvili.

As the head of National Wine Agency, Giorgi Samanishvili stated, Atenuri wine has quite big export potential.

\"Atenuri is one of the most popular and ancient Georgian wine and unfortunately, less known in recent years, especially on export market. Development of such medium and small wine cellars are the first steps to promote strengthening of winery of Qartli\"-mentioned Giorgi Samanishvili.

As the owner of the cellar, Ioseb Vanishvili noted, the guests will have opportunity to taste and buy wines of two types - Atenuri and Tavkveri and also \"Chacha\".

 Vanishvili family cellar \"Chateau Ateni\" will participate in \"Georgian Wine Road\" project.
