We’re delighted to announce that Château Mukhrani, one of Georgia’s most iconic wine estates, will host our Social Day on October 12 — a highlight of the Georgian MedTech Innovation Summit 2025.
The evening will include:
- A welcome reception in the château gardens
- A tour of The Palace and guided wine degustation in the historic royal cellars
- A gala dinner in The Orangery — a stunning, glass-walled pavilion inspired by 19th-century orangeries and spanning 2,400 m²
- And a lively post-dinner party in a setting made for connection
A Royal Legacy, Restored for the Future
Built in the 19th century, the château was once the residence of Prince Ivane Bagration of Mukhrani, a prominent statesman and a pioneer of modern Georgian winemaking. Influenced by his viticultural studies in Bordeaux, he brought French techniques to Georgian soil — laying the foundation for what would become Château Mukhrani.
The estate later fell into disrepair but was meticulously restored by a group of investors led by Dr. Frederik Paulsen Jr., billionaire philanthropist and Chairman of Ferring Pharmaceuticals. His father, Dr. Frederik Paulsen Sr., founded Ferring in 1950, establishing a legacy of innovation and family values — reflected in this revival.
Today, the estate is under the stewardship of Patrick Honnef, a German-trained winemaker who blends traditional Georgian methods — like qvevri fermentation — with modern viticulture to craft a portfolio of expressive, award-winning wines.
Why You Shouldn’t Miss It
Recognized as the birthplace of wine, Georgia boasts over 8,000 years of winemaking heritage. This Social Day invites medtech professionals to step into that legacy and enjoy meaningful networking with innovators, investors, KOLs, and experts in pre-clinical and clinical device development — all in a setting that seamlessly combines history, elegance, and innovation.
Join us for an unforgettable evening of culture, conversation, and connection — at the crossroads of tradition and transformation.
