Places of Alexander Chavchavadze's life in Georgia. Chavchavadze House Museum in Tsinandali.

In the manor, equipped with By Alexander Chavchavadze, the influence of European education and European lifestyle is felt. He was the first to bring a carriage and a piano to Georgia. According to the plan of European designers, he laid out a park in Tsinandali, which stretches over 12 hectares of land and contains a huge number of various exotic plants from Europe, Asia, America. Alexandre Dumas called Tsinandali Park a "garden of eden".

Alexander Chavchavadze, his wife Salome Orbeliani, and their children (David, Nino, Ekaterina and Sofia) were famous for their hospitality. At various times, Alexander Dumas, French historian Marie-Felicite Brosset, Russian poets Alexander Pushkin, Mikhail Lermontov and Alexander Griboyedov visited Tsinandali.

Alexander Chavchavadze introduced European winemaking technologies to Georgia and thereby renewed the traditions of wine production that have developed over thousands of years. He improved the quality of Kakheti wine, rooted and developed original technologies for the production of champagne and cognac. Alexander Chavchavadze was the first oenologist in Georgia. He was the first in Georgia to build a wine production enterprise, a steam vodka production enterprise and a huge underground wine storage - marani, in which he placed large wine jugs - kvevri. He also opened a workshop for making barrels. To this day, the Tsinandali enotheque houses Alexander Chavchavadze's personal wine collection, which contains 16,500 bottles of 70 wine brands. After the death of Alexander and his wife, in 1846-1847, the Tsinandali estate was managed by their children: first Nino, then David. On July 4, 1854, Shamil's detachments destroyed the estate in Tsinandali. A little later, David Chavchavadze, trying to revive and develop the Tsinandali estate, took a loan from the bank. But he did not turn out to be as successful as his father, and got into debt. Tsinandali's estate was transferred to the Russian government, and Chavchavadze's ancestral lands were sold.

During the Soviet period, Tsinandali was a government residence. Since 2007, the Silk Road Group has bought and restored the Tsinandali Museum. Tsinandali received the function of a modern museum. Part of it is intended for government or private events. After the restoration, Tsinandali consists of 4 parts: it includes a house museum, a park, a guest complex and an enoteca (winery and marani).
