This was the second tour we had taken, our first being the day trip to Kazbegi. We had the opportunity to observe traditional Georgian bread making and visited 4 wineries. Each winery was unique and the drive was so scenic! We had Beka for our tour guide. He was knowledgable about the history of the region and was excellent in communicating which made the tour so enjoyable. He was also an excellent photographer and took many great pictures for us. We had a grand time!
This wine tour was the highlight of our trip to Georgia. Lela was our tour guide and she made the tour comfortable and enjoyable. She was friendly and knowledgeable and a joy to be around. We went to 3 different wineries and also had the opportunity to see traditional Georgian bread being made. We got to taste the fresh bread and the local cheese. On the way back to Tbilisi, we took a scenic drive through the mountains and saw the most beautiful sunset. Lela went above and beyond to make the tour enjoyable. I recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area!
