What to Expect
Country of Temples and Fortresses on the Hills
Along the landscapes of Kakheti, you will head to Signagi - a small picturesque town, where you will admire the panorama of the Alazani Valley and visit the Bodbe Monastery. Its ancient walls from the 4th century hold the history of Georgian Christianity and the fate of St. Nino, the relics of the great enlightener rest here. In addition, our route will pass through a watchtower fortress from the 16th century.
Country of Wines and Treats
You mention 'Kakheti' - you mention 'Georgian wine'! This association arose several centuries ago: you will learn about the history of local winemaking and how wine has long been associated with the life and religion of Georgia.

In the world's largest wine storage you will hear about its storage features and taste Kakheti.

In the autumn, you can participate in grape harvesting, wine production, and chacha distillation.
