Overview
What to expect
Georgia's Kakheti region is famed for its wine-making traditions and historic monasteries — but knowing where to go, and how to get there, takes local experience. This full-day private tour from Tbilisi handles the planning for you, with a wine tasting, lunch, and hotel pickup all included.
The day combines Kakheti's essentials: a tasting at the KTW wine factory, a visit to Bodbe Monastery of St. Nino — one of Georgia's most significant pilgrimage sites — free time in the walled hilltop town of Sighnaghi, known as the 'City of Love' for its Mediterranean-style streets and Alazani Valley views, and a stop at the Khareba tunnel winery, carved deep into the rock.
Because the tour is private, only your group participates, and the pace is yours — linger longer at a tasting, add photo stops over the Alazani Valley, or adjust the route with your driver-guide on the day.
