What to expect
Badiauri
Badiauri Bakery is a place where you are welcome to taste delicious Georgian bread, cheese, and Chacha. Try to make traditional Georgian bread by yourself and be amazed by a unique way of baking.
After Badiauri, we go to Bodbe Nunnery. On the way to Bodbe, we stop at the viewpoint of Sighnaghi and take amazing pictures. Bodbe Nunnery of St. Nino is located in Kakheti, 2 kilometers away from Sighnaghi. According to the legend, it is built on the burial place of Saint Nino. A saint for Georgians who converted their religion into Christianity. Georgian kings were paying great attention to the Bodbe Monastery. It has been repaired and restored many times.
Sighnaghi
Signagi is a town in Kakheti, 75 km east of Tbilisi. However, Georgia's smallest towns serve as a popular tourist destination due to their location at the heart of Georgia's wine-growing region, its picturesque landscapes, pastel houses with wooden fretwork balconies, and narrow cobblestone streets. The Great Wall of Georgia has stunning views for taking pictures, and the city is surrounded by it. In Sighnaghi, we have lunch with the beautiful view of Alazani valley. Before we start our delicious lunch, we have a cooking masterclass of Khachapuri, and next try many delicious Georgian dishes. Making your own Khachapuri, drinking some good wine, and looking at Alazani valley from the top is a great experience that is a must to do while being in Georgia.
Winery Khareba is the largest of Georgia’s wine cellars. There are perfect storage conditions for wine, 7,7 km of tunnels, and galleries maintain a constant temperature of 12-14 degrees 0C. You have a walking tour with a local guide where you’ll find out more information and details about wine and taste it. The complex has an excellent museum in the tunnel which you see during the tour.
Alaverdi Monastery is a Georgian Eastern Orthodox monastery located 25 km from Akhmeta, in the Kakheti region of Eastern Georgia. While parts of the monastery date back to 6th century, the present day cathedral was built in the 11th century by Kvirike III of Kakheti, replacing an older church of St. George.
The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
