The Kakheti region in the eastern part of Georgia has more than 300 varieties of native grapes and a method of winemaking that dates back 8000 years.
We’ll reach the Kakheti region in around an hour, crossing hundreds of vineyards along the way. The entire journey will take approximately two hours, but we’ll make several stops and you won’t notice the distance.
We’ll first visit the village of Badiauri to taste local bread that’s baked according to old traditions, and even bake some of our own!
With happy stomachs and smiles on our faces we’ll continue on to Signagi (also known as the ‘City of Love’), a medieval town with a fortification wall spanning four kilometres.
Our next stop will be the Bodbe Monastery, one of the holiest places in Georgia. It has a peaceful atmosphere and a beautiful terraced garden.
Finally, we'll visit one of the best wineries in the country. We’ll taste wines made using Georgian and European technologies, take a tour of the wine tunnel (the biggest wine storage facility in Georgia with a permanent temperature of 12–14 °C), enjoy a masterclass in local cuisine, and possibly have lunch in the restaurant.
