A one-day wine and culinary escape from Tbilisi to Kakheti
Join us for a relaxed one-day experience in Kakheti — Georgia’s most famous wine region and one of the most generous places in the country.
This tour brings together what Kakheti does best: qvevri wine, local food, warm hospitality, historic places, open landscapes and the slow rhythm of the Alazani Valley.
It is designed for travellers who want to leave Tbilisi for one day and experience Georgia through taste, tradition and place — without having to organise the logistics themselves.
Why join this tour?
Because Kakheti is not only about wine tasting. It is about the table, the landscape, the monastery bells, the smell of fresh bread, the vineyards under the Caucasus and the kind of hospitality that makes Georgia unforgettable.
In one well-balanced day, you will visit a historic monastery, discover traditional qvevri winemaking, taste local wines, take part in a Georgian cooking workshop, enjoy lunch with regional flavours and walk through Sighnaghi — one of the most charming towns in eastern Georgia.
It is a perfect choice if you want something richer than a standard day trip: easy to join, full of flavour and deeply connected to the spirit of Kakheti.
