The proposed one-day excursion from Tbilisi promises an exciting journey. Let's start with a visit to the winery and historical site – Bodbe Monastery. This convent, associated with St. Nino, will become not only a place of pilgrimage, but also an amazing glimpse into the history of Georgia.

Next awaits us the picturesque city of Sighnaghi, known as the “city of love”. Here we will enjoy views of the great Caucasus, walk along the great wall about 5 kilometers long and enjoy breathtaking views of the Alazani Valley.

Tasting wines, chacha and cognac will add spice to our trip, and then we will plunge into the culture of wine making. A bread making master class and local sweets will be a delicious end to our gastronomic journey.

Then we will go to Telavi, the ancient and large city of Kakheti. Here, walking along the foggy roads of the underground city and visiting the king's castle, we will immerse ourselves in the history and mystery of this corner of Georgia.

You will be accompanied by a Russian-speaking guide who will take care of your mood. Lunch and activities such as zip lining are not included and will be additional costs.
