Tour Kakheti Wineland

Wine tour (3 days / 2 nights)
This 3 days tour leads us to Kakheti - the main wine region of Georgia. We aim not only to give you sampling of Georgian wines, we would also like to show you the traditions, the history and the attitude of Georgians to wine as well as an appreciation of the wines we produce.
Kakheti is synonymous with wine. There are hundreds of different grapes grown, and every village has its own particular variety. Kakhetians are usually characterized as less effusive than West Georgians, but very hospitable.
