Your day begins with a comfortable departure from Tbilisi, heading east toward the fertile valleys of Kakheti. Along the way, you will enjoy scenic views of mountains, vineyards, and traditional villages that reflect the authentic charm of rural Georgia.
The first major stop is usually a local winery, where you will learn about Georgia’s 8,000-year-old winemaking history. Here, you will see traditional Qvevri wine-making techniques and have the opportunity to taste different varieties of Georgian wine, including both red and white selections.

You will have free time to walk through its charming streets, take photos, and enjoy the relaxed atmosphere.
