The experience
You meet your guide near the Giant Bicycle Monument in central Tbilisi at 10:30 AM (they'll be wearing a red scarf), and depart at 11:00 AM for the drive into Kakheti. The route takes you through vineyards and rolling countryside to the KTW Warehouse, one of Georgia's best-known wine producers, where you taste wine and brandy while learning how local winemakers work with native grape varieties and traditional methods. From there you move to Vineria, a family-run cellar in the heart of the region, where you taste more homemade wines and can order a traditional Georgian lunch if you want to eat.
The day includes stops that break up the wine tastings with culture and landscape. You pass through Manavi village to taste Churchkhela (a traditional Georgian sweet made from grape juice and nuts), and browse local products. In Badiauri, you watch bread being baked in a clay oven and can pay an extra 5 GEL to join a bread-making workshop if that appeals to you. Bodbe Monastery, one of Georgia's most important religious sites, sits in peaceful gardens with views across the valley. The stop gives you space to walk and absorb the quiet. Then comes Sighnaghi, the "City of Love," where you explore narrow streets and colorful balconies before climbing to the historic Sighnaghi Wall (one of the longest fortress walls in the world) for a panoramic view over vineyards and mountains. Weather permitting, you catch the sunset from there before the drive back to Tbilisi, arriving around 10:00 PM at Rose Revolution Square.
The tour runs about 10 hours total. If you book the option with 10 wine tastings, those are built into the stops at the two cellars. If you choose the tour without tastings, you still visit the same places and can order food separately. Hotel pickup is included if your group has 4 or more people. Otherwise you meet at the monument. An English-speaking guide leads the whole day and handles the logistics, so you don't have to navigate between sites or arrange transport yourself.
Is this one for you?Book this tour if you want to taste wine at two different producers without arranging transport between them. The guide handles the route, timing and logistics so you can focus on the wine, the villages and the sunset. The 10 tastings option works best if you're curious about Georgian winemaking. The no-tasting version suits travelers who want the cultural stops and landscape without the wine focus.
