Kakhetian Traditional Winemaking Factory (Kakhetian Traditional Winemaking” is one of the largest wine and spirits producing companies in Georgia and the Caucasus region. Established in 2001, KTW produces wine, brandy, sparkling wine, and chacha with traditional Georgian techniques mixed with the state of art technologies. This allows the company to preserve an old, unique taste of wine and create its own signature style to spread to the world. We will have the possibility to visit the Wine factory and try 5 types of Georgian wine and 10 years of Brandy. Advice: •Take your bottle of water to drink it between wine tasting. •In a wine factory can be low temperature so take your jackets. •Chkhaveri – White Dry Wine. KTW’s signature wine “Chkhaveri” dates back to 1880 to the village Askana, where wine-maker Antimoz Chkhaidze founded one of the most prominent wine cellars of that period. He used unique grapes in that region and made a brand new wine type. He named it: “Chkhaveri”.
The monastery of St. Nino is located in the village of Bodbe, in the Sighnaghi region, Kakheti. The territory of the monastery is decorated with flower beds and bushes, vineyards, and a healing spring. The history of the monastery is closely connected with the adoption of Christianity. According to the legend, after the adoption of Christianity, King Miriani had a dream: four stars flew across the four mountains of Georgia and one of the rays was near Bobde. Nino went there to put a cross on that very place. She lived very modestly in a tent where she died. She was buried in the place where her tent was. At the beginning of the IV century, a monastery was built on the site of the tent. The grave of Nino is located inside the monastery, under the altar, and the altar is strictly forbidden to be photographed.
Signagi is a small beautiful town in the Kakhetian region. About 10 years ago it was the forgotten dull town, which after the extensive restoration has become a delightful civilized tourist center with cobbled streets and cozy houses with bright red tile roofs. The town’s architecture is made in the style of southern Italian classicism. There have also been built a number of hotels and guest houses corresponding to any taste and preferences. Signagi is also known as “the town of love”, and the reason is that there is a special wedding house, where you can get married at any time without prior delivery of documents.
After the tour, we drop you off at your living place or at any comfortable place for you.

Anri was a great driver and guide. I could chat a lot with him about Georgian history and Georgian wine. He drove safely and comfortably. Most recommend this!
It was amazing experience. Luka - the tour guide was informative. Thanks for the great experience. We had great experience.
Our winery trip with Fantastica and George was incredible! Fantastica's energy and passion made it fun and engaging, while George's expertise elevated the wine-tasting experience. The winery was stunning, the wines were exceptional, and their dynamic partnership made it unforgettable. Highly recommended!
Sounds like an amazing winery trip! Fantastica’s energy and George’s expertise must have made the experience truly special. A stunning winery, exceptional wines, and a great team—what more could you ask for? Thanks for sharing your recommendation!
I generally do not leave reviews when a tour is acceptable, only when the tour is problematic, but here we have an exception. I booked this private one on one tour not understanding I could be part of a small group instead, but this turned out perfect! Nika was a perfect companion- happy, smart, fine English and understood we should not be doing a run of the mill tour. We made unplanned stops, laughed and shared great music playlists-exactly what I wanted: a non- tour tour!! Thanks Nika- a great experience!!!
Thank you for sharing this exceptional review! It’s great to hear that your private tour exceeded your expectations,. Nika sounds like the perfect guide, adapting the experience to your preferences and making the tour more personal and fun.

Loved it! the tour gide was super attentive and friendly, I could say that he introduced us to some hidden gems of the area: we tasted factory wines (delicious), home-made wines (even more delicious), baked our own bread, played with puppies, walked through the great wall of Georgia and even had a bonus-tasting of local drinks. I recommend! 11/10
