About Us

Welcome to Domiya Estate, Tanzania’s first and only winery hotel — where luxury hospitality meets the art of fine winemaking. Nestled in the heart of nature, our property offers guests a rare opportunity to experience the elegance of Tanzanian wine in an exclusive setting found nowhere else in the country.

Where we believe you are a priority.

Domiya Estate is a historic and innovative winery nestled in the heart of Tanzania's wine-producing region of Dodoma. Our story dates back to 1971, when the first President of the United Republic of Tanzania, Julius K. Nyerere, recognized the region's potential for producing high-quality wines. Inspired by the local wines he tasted during a visit to Dodoma, the government acquired land in the Kilimani area at the foot of Imagi Hill, eventually leading to the establishment of Dodoma Wine Company (DOWICO). Despite its promising beginnings, DOWICO faced operational challenges and closed its doors in the early 1990s. In 1999, the factory was auctioned, and its legacy was reignited by a local entrepreneur. In 2018, Domiya Estate was born, transforming the once-abandoned facility into a vibrant and luxurious winery. Today, we offer a unique blend of history, tradition, and modern elegance, proudly representing Dodoma's rich viticultural heritage. At Domiya Estate, we combine world-class facilities with the finest local wines, all set within breathtaking vineyards and gardens. Whether you’re here for a wine-tasting experience, a serene escape, or an unforgettable stay, our estate provides a perfect blend of luxury and authenticity. Join us at Domiya Estate and experience the legacy of Tanzanian winemaking, celebrated through every bottle we produce and every guest we welcome.
