Kakheti – Small wineries and home-cooked lunch

After exploring the fortress, it’s time to immerse yourself in an authentic Georgian wine experience. In a charming, family-run cellar, where authenticity is not just a word but a way of life. Here, a young, passionate winemaker welcomes you with open arms, ready to share the magic that has been passed down for generations.

After our wine tasting, we journey to a village where time-honored traditions come to life. Here, the aroma of freshly baked bread fills the air as it emerges from a clay oven, warm and golden. You’ll not only witness this ancient craft but can even take part in it yourself. Then, with a piece of warm bread in hand, we’ll savor the rich, creamy flavors of locally made sheep and cow cheese—a simple yet unforgettable taste of Georgia’s heart and soul.

Our final stop is the serene Bodbe Convent, a place of deep spiritual significance and breathtaking beauty. Nestled on a hillside overlooking the Alazani Valley, this sacred site is the resting place of St. Nino, the beloved evangelizer of Georgia. Surrounded by lush gardens and ancient cypress trees, the convent exudes a sense of peace and devotion. Whether drawn by faith, history, or the tranquil atmosphere, visitors find a moment of reflection and awe in this timeless sanctuary.
