Sighnaghi
Sighnaghi, often called the “City of Love.” Stroll along its cobbled streets, walk sections of the ancient defensive wall and take in sweeping views of the Alazani Valley and the distant Caucasus Mountains. The town’s architecture, colorful balconies and relaxed atmosphere offer a perfect blend of history and romance.
Bodbe Monastery of St. Nino
Bodbe Monastery one of Georgia’s most important religious sites, associated with Saint Nino, who brought Christianity to the country. Surrounded by gardens and overlooking the valley, this stop adds a meaningful cultural and historical dimension to your day.
Wine Cellar-Museum Numisi

Inside the winery, take part in a hands-on Georgian cooking masterclass, led by local hosts. Learn to prepare traditional dishes such as Khinkali and other regional specialties, guided step by step in an authentic environment. This is not a demonstration, but a genuine opportunity to cook, engage and connect with local culinary traditions.
After the masterclass, sit down to enjoy the dishes you’ve prepared, paired with a selection of premium wines, including Qvevri wines, sparkling varieties and traditional Georgian spirits. The setting, flavors and hospitality create a memorable and personal dining experience.
