We took this day trip as a group of four wine lovers. Our tour guide Otto and his chauffeur picked us up in the morning in a modern mid-range car that was not very big for six people, and the two of them did everything to make this day an experience for us on a 320-kilometer round trip. Otto spoke excellent English and always gave us extensive and very personal information about the country and its people.
At small stops at street stalls and up to the first big wine tasting in the picturesque Kakhetian provincial town of Sighnagi, Otto bought local specialties and had them tasted on the spot: freshly baked "Georgian baguette" with local feta-like cheese and devilishly hot sauces for dipping or, for a change, various sweet fruits covered in chocolate. But of course our curiosity focused on the famous Kakhetian wines. There were three opportunities for this: first, at the "Okro" winery on a beautiful terrace high above the town of Sighnaghi, close to fortification walls and watchtowers - six different professionally presented wines of exquisite quality. Less than an hour later, we were invited to lunch by a Georgian family in a small village with an unpronounceable name, which was served to us with all imaginable authenticity and hospitality. Two simple country wines were the counterpoint for our palate and of course "Chacha", the Georgian vodka, was not to be missed. As a third wine stop, we were able to visit the wine tunnel of the large "Khareba" winery in Kvareli. As impressive as these cellars were visually, the half-hour tour given by the students employed there was characterized by routine and assembly line information and the tasting was also limited to just two wines of average quality - firstly, we would have liked to have tasted more and secondly, higher quality wines. As a consolation, we bought one of the winery's more expensive signature wines in the shop and, thanks to the drinking glasses we had brought with us, enjoyed tasting it during the next hour's drive.
Finally, despite the feared construction sites and announced diversions, we were able to enjoy the direct route over the Gombori Pass to Tbilisi - a scenic experience that we would have hated to have missed.
A big thank you to our guide Otto and his daring but always focused driver for this eventful day.

A wonderful day spent in the Kakhetsi Region of Georgia. Our guide Tstotne, from Traffic Travel LLC was referred to us by friends and we are so happy we took their recommendation to make use of his services.
Tstotne's knowledge of the region and the various forms of wine making practised in the area were most insightful. The hospitality of the wine makers in the area is exceptional and sharing a meal at Salome's family winery was special.
This tour is one where you arrive as guests but leave as friends.
Highly recommended.

Shota was an amazing guide and the program was marvelous. Great wine tasting with a phenomenal view of Kakheti, followed by more wine tastings and local luch at a traditional house. Two thumbs up and highly recommended!
한국 여행객분들께: 5명으로 구성된 한국 그룹이였고 너무너무 즐거웠습니다~ 굉장히 친절한 가이드였고 카케티 지역을 한번에 돌아볼 수 있고 스스로 계획했다면 절대 가보기 어려운 로컬 와이너리나 점심 장소가 끝내줬습니다!

This tour delivered everything as promised, culture, food and of course wine! Our tour guide Shota did a fantastic job explaining the history and traditions of the region with wine and food tastings for our group. It’s a full day and you will drink a lot of wine! We could see at the first stop that the bread fresh from the oven and the cheese pairing was so delicious. The location of the first wine tasting was breathtaking and the wine itself was very good, plus the descriptions from the winemaker made it seem much more personal. The meal at our lunch stop was the best Georgian food we ate all week, very fresh and of course served with wine (and chacha). I would absolutely recommend this tour for anyone who wants to sample and learn about the wines of Kakheti, how they are made, the different types of grapes, and what makes Georgian wine unique.

This was the most memorable part of our visit to Georgia. The local wines are uniquely delicious, especially those made by the traditional qvevri method. We visited the largest winery in the region as well as some smaller producers.
Our first stop was a roadside bakery where we enjoyed freshly baked bread and local cheese. Lunch was a very delicious homemade meal at the home of a beautiful and charming hostess.
Kakcha, our guide for the tour, is an extremely knowledgeable and personable young man; also an excellent driver, which is important on the somewhat tricky roads. We have been on many tours around the world, and he was one of the best, if not THE best guide that we have ever had. Highly recommended!
