Itinerary
1
Manavi
In Manavi, you step into the everyday heart of Kakheti, where winemaking is not a performance but a living tradition. This small village is known for its family cellars and vineyards, where wine is still produced using methods passed down through generations. Here, tasting wine is less about formality and more about sharing stories, laughter, and hospitality.
You’ll sample local Kakhetian wine, often made in qvevri—large clay vessels buried underground—giving the wine its deep character and earthy soul. Alongside it, enjoy a tasting of churchkhela, Georgia’s beloved natural sweet, prepared by hand using grape juice and nuts. Watching how it’s made and tasting it fresh connects you directly to rural Georgian life.

2
Badiauri
In Badiauri, you are welcomed into a traditional Georgian home bakery, where the smell of freshly baked bread fills the air and hospitality is offered before words. This village is famous for its shotis puri, the long, canoe-shaped bread baked in a deep clay oven called a tone—a technique unchanged for centuries.
20 minutes
3
Bodbe Monastery of St. Nino
At Bodbe, you visit one of Georgia’s most sacred and peaceful places—the Monastery of St. Nino, the woman who brought Christianity to Georgia in the 4th century. Surrounded by gardens, forested hills, and open views across the Alazani Valley, this monastery feels less like a historical site and more like a place of quiet reflection.
40 minutes
4
Sighnaghi
Perched high above the Alazani Valley, Sighnaghi, known as the City of Love, welcomes travelers with cobblestone streets, pastel-colored houses, and panoramic views that stretch to the Caucasus Mountains. The town’s gentle charm lies in its peaceful atmosphere—slow, romantic, and effortlessly beautiful.
1 hour and 30 minutes
5
Kvareli
In Kvareli, you enter one of Georgia’s most celebrated wine regions, home to the world-famous Kindzmarauli appellation. Surrounded by vineyards and framed by the foothills of the Greater Caucasus, this area represents the soul of Georgian winemaking—where nature, tradition, and patience come together in every bottle.
At the Kindzmarauli wine factory, you’ll discover how Georgia’s iconic semi-sweet red wine is crafted from the Saperavi grape, grown only in this unique microclimate. During the tasting, learn what makes Kindzmarauli distinct—its natural balance, deep color, and smooth, velvety character—while hearing stories about centuries-old winemaking traditions that continue today.
