About this experience
Kakheti is the soul and heart of Georgia. It's hectares of vineyards, sun, wine, ancient temples, Europe's longest fortress wall, sleepy towns, and clay roofs. We will show you all the facets of our beloved region - rich with the bitterness of wines, aromas of bread, sweetness of churchkhela. There will be tastings, master classes, plenty of natural beauty, and history.
