About this tour

Kakheti is the heartland of Georgian wine, with an unbroken qvevri tradition going back over 8,000 years and now inscribed on the UNESCO Intangible Heritage list. This three-day route is built around four winery visits — small family producers rather than industrial cellars — interleaved with the most important monasteries of the region (Bodbe, Alaverdi, Gremi) and a full day in Sighnaghi, the walled town nicknamed Georgia's City of Love. A traditional supra dinner with regional dishes is included on the second evening.
