About this experience
Time in Kakheti is always filled with sunshine. Even under cloudy skies, you will be imbued with the hospitality and beauty of this blessed land.

Learn about the history of unconquered Kakheti and appreciate its main brand - wine.
What to expect
Journey through Kakheti
The route of this tour is circular, allowing you to cover all the essential places of the region in one day. The trip will be adorned by the hilly landscapes of the Alazani Valley and filled with fascinating stories - about history, traditions, holy places, and wine. So, the program includes:
- The city of Telavi, the capital of Kakheti, which played its role on the caravan route from the Middle East to Europe. Here, you will remember the film 'Mimino' next to a 900-year-old plane tree;
- Chavchavadze Museum-Estate in Tsinandali, where under the shade of trees you will hear about the ancient princely lineage, the Europeanization of Georgia, and how the estate became the residence of the Romanovs;
- Charming Sighnaghi, dubbed the 'city of love'. I'll explain why as we stroll the cozy streets and admire the panoramas. And we'll also climb the longest fortress wall in Europe!
- Bodbe Monastery, where the revered Saint Nino, the Equal to the Apostles, is interred, deeply revered by the Georgians. Of course, you will hear the crucial aspects of her biography.
And what kind of journey in Georgia is complete without the national cuisine! And in Kakheti - without wine. You will have lunch at the best restaurant in Telavi, and at the winery, you will learn about the specifics of Georgian winemaking and taste the country's symbol drink.
