Short wine tour in Kakheti
MyCaucasus

On this exciting and authentic drive-yourself trip you get to know the Eastern Georgian wine region Kakheti in 3 days. You explore the best places of Georgian traditional winemaking, enjoy the Alazani Valley's magnificent nature and visit numerous architectural monuments of the Middle Ages. The ancient fortresses and temples, shrouded in legends, monasteries, magnificent buildings with a century-long history, felt in every stone of the masonry darkened with time, cause an involuntary awe.

During this Kakheti drive-yourself trip you will explore the main city Telavi and the elegant Alaverdi Cathedral, one of the most well-known medieval temples in Georgia. You will visit wineries and wine cellars which only use natural filtration and make ecologically pure products. Last but not least you will discover Sighnaghi, the city of love.

As in all our drive-yourself trips, the tour price includes the accommodations and an appropriate rental car during the whole tour.
