Frequently asked questions
- Can Kakheti be visited as a day trip from Tbilisi?
- Yes, Kakheti is one of the best day trips from Tbilisi for wine and food. An overnight stay is better if you want a slower pace, more tastings, or time in both Sighnaghi and Telavi.
- When is the best time for a Kakheti wine tour?
- September and October are especially popular because of the grape harvest and warm weather. Spring and early summer are also pleasant for vineyard views and outdoor meals.
- Do Kakheti wineries require reservations?
- Many small family wineries prefer reservations, especially for qvevri tastings and meals. Booking ahead helps you avoid closed cellars or rushed tastings.
- Should I rent a car for a wine tour?
- It is better to use a driver or organized transfer if you plan to taste wine. Roads are manageable, but driving after tastings is not a good idea.
