Whispers of Kakheti

Journey eastward from Tbilisi through the greenery of Gombori pass into Kakheti's fertile embrace. Your exploration begins among the weathered walls of Ujarma Fortress, where medieval stones stand sentinel above the Iori River valley. The quiet power of Georgia's spiritual heritage awaits at the 11th-century Alaverdi Monastery, its soaring cathedral dome a testament to devotion and artistry.

Midday brings you to the cobbled streets of Telavi, where time moves at a gentler pace beneath the shade of ancient plane trees. As afternoon light softens, you'll be welcomed into a wine cellar. We can bravely declare that the winemaker can be compared to painter, which uses traditional Qvevri vessels as a canvas and grapes as paint for his artistry. Here, a curated tasting of indigenous varieties is accompanied by not less of an artistic vision - a seasonal lunch, cooked with love, creativity and seasonal touch.

Throughout the day, your dedicated guide gently uncovers the layers of story and meaning hidden within places you visit, while your private driver ensures seamless transitions between these moments of discovery.

This doorway to Kakheti reveals itself without haste—a day of sensory pleasures, historic sites, and the quiet revelation of Georgia's eastern heartland.
