Tour the highlights of Signagi
Meet your guide at an agreed-upon location in Tbilisi and head to Signagi.
Tour Sighnaghi – the City of Love with your Georgia tour guide. It is the prettiest town in Kakheti. Signagi originally was developed in the 18th century by King Erekle II. The city has wonderful views over the Alazani valley to the Caucasus beyond. Also, taste traditional candy made with grape juice – Churchkhela and Pelamushi.
Enter the Monastery of St. Nino, one of the major pilgrimage sites in Georgia. This monastery, also called the Bodbe Monastery, holds the tomb of St. Nino, the Cappadocian maiden who converted the Georgian people to Christianity. It has a breathtaking view of the Alazani valley and snowcapped Caucasus mountains.
Enjoy wine tasting at KTW Wines. Georgia is sometimes referred to as “the cradle of winemaking” as it is one of the oldest cultural centres of viticulture, and this is evidenced by various archaeological discoveries.
See clay vessels containing cultivated grape seeds that were dated to 6000 BC using archaeological and chemical methods.
Head back to your hotel in Tbilisi.
