Venture into Kakheti, the cradle of viticulture, where Georgia's legendary winemaking heritage comes alive in every drop. Our exclusive tours guide you through rolling vineyards bathed in golden sunlight, leading to rustic cellars that guard time-honoured traditions. Experience the magic of the qvevri — ancient clay vessels buried underground, where grapes transform into delectable wine. Savour the unique flavours of Georgian varietals, each telling tales of the land and its passionate vintners. Coupled with the region's rich history, monastic treasures, and gastronomic delights, Kakheti isn't just a destination—it's an intoxicating journey through the very soul of Georgian wine culture.
Kakheti, the heartland of Georgian viticulture, beckons oenophiles to its vast vineyards. Engage with local winemakers practicing traditional qvevri winemaking, a method dating back over 8,000 years. Delve into wine cellars, or "maranis," savouring tastings that range from robust reds to crisp whites. Each sip tells a tale of the region's rich soil, traditions, and passion for wine.
Often dubbed the "City of Love," Sighnaghi enchants with its cobblestone streets, pastel-hued homes, and wooden balconies. Wander amidst its historic walls, enjoying panoramic views of the Alazani Valley below. The town's vibrant arts scene, peppered with galleries and artisan workshops, offers insights into the region's cultural fabric.
One of the world's oldest wine-producing sites, Alaverdi Monastery dates back to the 6th century. Beyond its spiritual allure, the monastery holds significance for its ancient wine cellars. Engage with monk-winemakers, understanding the confluence of devotion and viniculture. The serene ambiance, coupled with the rich history of wine, makes it a must-visit.
The flavours of Kakheti are as diverse and rich as its wines. Relish local delicacies like "mtsvadi" (grilled meat), "shotis puri" (bread baked in a clay oven), and "churchkhela" (nuts coated in thick grape juice). Attend culinary workshops or dine with local families, understanding the intricacies of Kakhetian gastronomy, from farm to plate.
Nestled atop a steep hill, the ruins of Ujarma Fortress invite history enthusiasts. Founded in the early centuries AD, the fortress played a significant role in Georgia's defence against invaders. As you navigate its remnants, panoramic vistas of the surrounding landscapes unfurl, offering a blend of historical intrigue and natural beauty.
To truly immerse in Kakhetian culture, time your visit with "Rtveli," the annual grape harvest festival. Villages come alive with music, dance, and feasting. Participate in grape picking, join the vibrant processions, and relish communal feasts, celebrating the season's bounty. Rtveli isn't just a harvest; it's a spirited celebration of Kakheti's vinicultural heritage.
