Kakheti wine tour from Tbilisi
Georgia is the birthplace of wine — an 8,000-year tradition of fermenting grapes in clay qvevri vessels. This tour brings you to Sighnaghi (the "city of love"), Bodbe Monastery, Alaverdi Cathedral and family wineries in the Alazani Valley for authentic tastings and a Georgian supra feast.
