Spend a full day exploring Kakheti’s vineyards, the hilltop town of Sighnaghi, the sacred Bodbe Monastery and the Khareba wine tunnel. This private tour blends hands-on wine tasting with cultural stops and easy walks across the Alazani Valley.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step out of the air-conditioned minivan and the Alazani Valley opens like a wide, sun-steeped page: vineyard rows sliding down to a ribbon of river, low hills scored by terraces and dry stone walls. The town of Sighnaghi perches above the valley, its defensive wall and narrow lanes cutting a clean silhouette against the sky.
