Every country has its own “Personalities” and “characters”, and Georgia is no exception. When it comes to the main characteristics of our country, the first thing that comes to mind is wine – a divine liquid that inspires, and widens one’s perspectives.
Georgians thought that they simply loved wine, since it was always an important ascept of the daily life here, associated with the birth, life, death of a person, with religion, architecture and cultural development, but recently it was proved, that there was more to it, than seemed to the eye.
In 2017, it was scientifically proved that Georgia is the first wine-making country in the world, keeping its unique traditions of wine-making in a clay vessel called Qvevri alive, for more than 8000 years already.
Nowadays, Kakheti is the region that keeps those traditions alive, offering a wide variety of different wines still produced in the same way, that our ancestors did in the 6th Millenium BC, and the whole area is covered with lush valleys full of vineyards, nurtured by Alazani river slowly making its way from the Caucasus Mountains.
Our day trip to Kakheti begins with a scenic drive from Tbilisi, the vibrant capital of Georgia, to the picturesque town of Sighnaghi. Along the way, you’ll marvel at the breathtaking landscapes of the Georgian countryside, with rolling hills adorned with vineyards stretching as far as the eye can see.
Upon arrival in Sighnaghi, you’ll be greeted by the stunning views of the Alazani Valley and the majestic Caucasus Mountains. Take a leisurely stroll along the ancient Sighnaghi Wall, a defensive fortification dating back to the 18th century, and soak in the atmosphere of this charming town.
Next, we’ll visit two renowned Georgian wineries, each offering a unique glimpse into the country’s winemaking traditions. At JSC “Corporation Kindzmarauli” and a family-owned winery, you’ll have the opportunity to learn about the ancient methods of winemaking that have been passed down through generations. From dry reds to sweet whites, you’ll taste a variety of wines that showcase the diverse terroir of Kakheti.
But our tour isn’t just about wine – it’s also about experiencing the rich culture and hospitality of Georgia. You’ll indulge in a traditional Georgian feast, featuring freshly baked bread, artisanal cheeses, and chacha, a grape-based vodka that will warm your soul. As you dine, you’ll be serenaded by traditional Georgian music and dance, immersing yourself in the vibrant spirit of the region.
No visit to Kakheti would be complete without exploring its historic landmarks. We’ll make a stop at Bodbe’s St. Nino’s Convent Cathedral, a sacred site that holds deep significance in Georgian Orthodox Christianity. Marvel at the stunning architecture and serene surroundings as you learn about the legacy of St. Nino, who brought Christianity to Georgia in the 4th century.
