Cradle of Wine – Wine Tour to Kakheti

Departure to Kakheti is a wine region of Georgia, where the soul of Georgia is hidden, because for Georgians the vine has a spiritual ideology, and without winemaking it is impossible to imagine a Georgian person.

Initially, we will visit the fortified city of Signahi (18th century), where you will have the opportunity to enjoy a delightful view of the nearby mountains of the Greater Caucasus. We will also visit the Bodbe Monastery, where Saint Nino, who introduced the Georgian people to Christianity in the 4th century, rests.

After visiting the monastery, we will go to a local resident who has preserved the ancient wine cellar “Marani”. You will have the opportunity to learn about traditional Georgian winemaking and taste red and white wines prepared by the jug method, which is included in the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage List.

Next, we will head to the village of Gawazi with a local family. The owner will meet and show you his farm and tell you about the local life of residents.
