Tsinandali (Georgian: წინანდალი) is a village in Kakheti, Georgia, situated in the district of Telavi, 79 km east of Tbilisi.

It was the place where prince Alexander Chavchavadze frequently entertained foreign guests with music, wit, and – most especially – the fine vintages made at his estate marani (winery).

[4] The village and the Chavchavadze estate were further famed by a surprising raid by the troops of Imam Shamil, a Muslim leader of the North Caucasian opposition to the Russian expansion, on July 2, 1854.

[5] After David Chavchavadze's death, due to the failure to pay the debt to the Russian Public Bank, the estate passed to the property of the Imperial family.

In 2007, a major renovation of the palace and redevelopment of the park was proposed in conjunction with the Smithsonian Institution,[6] and undertaken by the Silk Road Group[7] whose founder is also a force behind the international music festival at the site.

Tsinandali Garden is considered to be one of the few remaining examples of early 19th-century landscape designs, here visitors can see not only local species of trees and shrubs but also species from every continent (Taxus baccata, Ginkgo Biloba, Cryptomeria japonica, Magnolia grandiflora, Maclura Pomifera and so on) and together with garden's unique design patterns.

In the 19th century a fashionable salon was located in Tsinandali estate, where aristocrats from different countries gathered lived a stormy life.

After his death, his son Aleksandre Chavchavadze took care of these estates, who became particularly skilled at managing the vineyards and developed special wine production techniques.
