Description
This private Kakheti wine tour from Tbilisi is a full day in Georgia's most famous wine region — the hilltop town of Signagi, Bodbe Monastery and a family winery where you taste traditional qvevri wines with a sommelier, plus fresh Georgian bread and cheese along the way. Your own vehicle, your own driver-guide, no shared buses.
Your Route: Signagi, Bodbe & a Family Winery
Your Kakheti wine tour begins with a scenic drive east from Tbilisi through the rolling countryside of Kakheti, with stops for photos whenever you like. The first highlight is Signagi, known as Georgia's "City of Love" — a charming hilltop town of cobblestone streets, restored balconies and old defensive walls, with sweeping views over the Alazani Valley and the Greater Caucasus on clear days.
Just below the town lies Bodbe Monastery, one of the most important spiritual sites in Georgia and the resting place of Saint Nino, who brought Christianity to the country. Its peaceful gardens look out over the same valley that has produced wine for thousands of years.
The heart of the day is a visit to a local family winery, where a sommelier guides you through a tasting of 6–9 Georgian wines, including amber and red wines made in the traditional qvevri way. Along the route, you'll also stop at a local bakery for hot Georgian bread and cheese, baked in a traditional clay oven.
8,000 Years of Wine: Why Kakheti Is Special
Georgia is often called the cradle of wine, with archaeological evidence of winemaking going back around 8,000 years. In Kakheti, many families still make wine in qvevri — large clay vessels buried underground, where grapes ferment with their skins. This method is recognised by UNESCO as part of the world's intangible cultural heritage, and tasting qvevri wine where it is made is something you simply cannot experience anywhere else. Our guide to a private Kakheti wine tour explains the grapes, styles and traditions in more detail.

Not Drinking Alcohol? This Tour Still Works
Many of our guests from the Gulf and India don't drink alcohol, and that's no problem. Non-alcoholic tastings can be arranged, and the day still includes Signagi, Bodbe Monastery, the valley views and the bakery stop — just tell us in advance so we can plan it around you.
What to Bring
Comfortable shoes for Signagi's cobblestone streets, sunglasses and a light layer for the evening. Some cash in Georgian lari is useful if you'd like to buy wine, churchkhela or souvenirs directly from local producers — see our Money in Georgia guide.
