Kakheti is the region where Georgia reveals one of its most powerful identities. This is the land of vineyards, ancient monasteries, family wine cellars and wide
views over the Alazani Valley, with the Greater Caucasus rising in the distance. On this one-day tour from Tbilisi, you will travel into the heart of eastern Georgia and experience Kakheti through its most essential elements: wine, food, landscape, history and hospitality. You will visit one of the oldest Christian sites in the region, discover the ancient Georgian method of winemaking in qvevri, taste local wines, take part in traditional cooking workshops and explore Sighnaghi — the romantic hilltop town overlooking the Alazani Valley. This is not just a wine tasting trip. It is a full, vivid and deeply Georgian day in one of the country’s most beautiful regions.
