Tbilisi, Gombori, Telavi, Kvareli, Eniseli
On the way, you can enjoy the breathtaking views from the Gombori mountain pass. From there we go down to the Alazani Valley – a wide plain with the mountains of the Caucasus at its end. In Telavi, the capital of Kakheti, you can look forward to a wine tasting and a decent lunch.
On the other side of the valley, we visit the wine cellar of Fabio Bolognese, the founder of MyCaucasus Travel. There you learn how wine has been produced in Kvevris for thousands of years in Georgia. Kvevris are clay vessels that are buried in the ground below the wine cellar (Marani).
Depending on the season, you can actively participate in the grape harvest or in the wine production. If not possible, you can at least taste the wine and visit the vineyard.
In the neighboring village of Eniseli, we visit the Asanashvili family, where you can enjoy delicious and home-made Kakhetian food and Georgian hospitality. Overnight stay in the family's house.
