Itinéraire
Notre itinéraire se dirige vers l'est du pays, vers une région qui a beaucoup à offrir. Après une heure de route à travers les villages kakhètes, les vignobles, les vallées et les montagnes, nous atteignons notre première destination, la forteresse de Manavi qui surplombe les vignobles et offre une vue imprenable sur les vallées fertiles. La forteresse de Manavi est un lieu idéal pour découvrir l'histoire de la viticulture géorgienne.
Après avoir exploré la forteresse, il est temps de vous plonger dans une expérience authentique de vin géorgien. Dans une charmante cave familiale. Ici, un jeune vigneron passionné vous accueille à bras ouverts, prêt à partager la magie transmise depuis des générations. Le vigneron vous guidera personnellement à travers son vignoble et sa cave à vin, partageant les secrets des anciennes traditions viticoles de Géorgie. Après cette visite enrichissante, vous entrerez dans une cave à vin ancestrale, où les anciennes techniques géorgiennes donnent vie au vin. Savourez trois vins exquis, chacun racontant l'histoire de la terre, des gens et de l'amour qui entre dans chaque bouteille. Pour compléter l'expérience, un coup de chacha ardent réveillera vos sens, tandis que des collations locales rehausseront les saveurs de chaque gorgée, vous laissant un véritable goût du riche patrimoine géorgien.
Après notre dégustation de vin, nous nous rendons dans un village où les traditions séculaires prennent vie. Ici, l'arôme du pain fraîchement cuit remplit l'air en sortant d'un four à argile. Vous serez non seulement témoin de cet ancien métier mais pourrez même y prendre part vous-même. Ensuite, avec un morceau de pain chaud à la main, nous savourerons les saveurs riches et crémeuses du fromage de brebis et de vache fabriqué localement, un goût simple mais inoubliable du cœur et de l’âme de la Géorgie.
Notre voyage se poursuit jusqu’à la charmante ville fortifiée de Sighnaghi, surnommée avec amour la « ville de l’amour ». Avec son architecture magnifiquement préservée des XVIIIe et XIXe siècles et une touche de charme toscan, c'est la ville la plus pittoresque de la région de Kakhétie. Les balcons ornés, les rues pavées et les façades finement restaurées créent une atmosphère de romantisme et de beauté intemporelle. Un point culminant de toute visite est l'escalade des anciens murs de la ville, où une vue panoramique imprenable sur la vallée de l'Alazani se déroule comme un chef-d'œuvre sous vos yeux.
Le clou culinaire de la journée est la visite de la maison d’une famille locale, où vous aurez droit à un festin chaleureux et fait maison. Le repas mettra en valeur les saveurs authentiques de la cuisine kakhète, préparée avec des ingrédients frais et locaux. Cette expérience intime, remplie de nourriture copieuse, d'hospitalité accueillante et de vin raffiné, deviendra sans aucun doute un souvenir précieux de votre voyage en Kakhétie.
Notre dernière étape est le couvent serein de Bodbe, un lieu d'une profonde signification spirituelle et d'une beauté à couper le souffle. Niché sur une colline surplombant la vallée de l'Alazani, ce site sacré est le lieu de repos de saint Nino, l'évangélisateur bien-aimé de la Géorgie. Entouré de jardins luxuriants et de cyprès centenaires, le couvent dégage un sentiment de paix et de dévotion. Qu'ils soient attirés par la foi, l'histoire ou l'atmosphère tranquille, les visiteurs trouvent un moment de réflexion et d'émerveillement dans ce sanctuaire intemporel.
Après une journée remplie de vues à couper le souffle, d'histoire riche et de saveurs inoubliables, votre chauffeur-guide vous raccompagnera à votre hôtel, vous assurant de garder des souvenirs impérissables de la belle région de Kakhétie et de son vin, de sa cuisine et de son hospitalité chaleureuse.

A great private tour. We had Mamuka as our guide who was very knowledgeable and passionate about Georgian history and winemaking. You will also be treated to an excellent meal at a family's house. Wholeheartedly recommend!
Alex was an excellent guide and driver. The modern car was clean and comfortable with cold water provided. We felt special as Alex took us to places tourists don’t usually go. I particularly enjoyed sharing wine with Sandro in his back garden and the toast he made. The next winery also had lovely wine and more food.
Great! Would book again, good value and amazing host
We had an amazing day out with Alex! He was an attentive and gracious host, and went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves. Also a great historian, and he provided the most objective and informative perspective on Georgian history that we’d heard. All the sites on the tour was superb, but the highlights were the incredible feast at the village courtesy of Giga's parents, and wine tasting at the premium family-run winery Muzzé. Highly recommend!
We had the most amazing private tour organised by Giga for my Mother's 60th birthday. Our guide Georgio was fantastic, such great company and super knowledgable about Georgia history and wine making (also a very good driver!) The highlight for us was the meal at the local village winemakers house - the food was the best we had in Georgia and fully accomodated us being vegetarian. The wine was equally as excellent and always flowing, not an empty glass in sight! The setting in the garden was idealic, sat in the shade with chick's roaming around. The final stop at the vineyard ran by two brothers was also incredible - talking us through the wine making process and their special family story carrying on their father's legacy. The wine was excellent - both Georgian style and European style. Their sparkling wine was dangerously delicious! It was an all round magical day, I couldn't recommend it enough. Don't think twice about going on this tour!
We really enjoyed the experience. The program of the tour was well-structured, with just enough activities but not overwhelming. The fact that the tour is private also allowed for flexibility to stay longer or shorter in places depending on how we felt. The transfer car was very comfortable. Giga provided information along the tour and was ready to answer questions, but didn’t overload us with information, which we also appreciated. Giga is very friendly and thoughtful. The highlight of the trip was a lunch prepared by his family in a beautiful peaceful garden. The food was amazing, with authentic tastes. We also really enjoyed the Vellini winery included in the program — it’s one of the smaller ones and has probably the best wines we’ve ever tried in Georgia, much higher quality than usual.
We had an excellent private tour of Kakheti with Giorgi as both our driver and guide. He was punctual, friendly, funny, and spoke very good English, which made the whole day easy and enjoyable. The driving was very safe and comfortable, with good air conditioning and a relaxed pace throughout the day. Giorgi was also very knowledgeable, explaining Georgian history, wine culture, and the places we visited without ever over-talking. He gave great recommendations, helped with photos, and made the experience feel personal rather than rushed. We visited several small and medium-sized family wineries, and also had lunch at a local family house, which was one of the highlights of the day. On the way back, Giorgi mentioned a large church nearby, and when I asked if we could make a short stop, he happily did it free of charge despite the extra hassle and showed us around properly. Highly recommended.
The best experience and tour we have been on in Georgia. Very well thought out with a great number of stops and information. We went to lots of places we wouldn’t have otherwise, and was great to get off the usual tourist trail and stops. Giga was a fantastic guide and we are very grateful. A unique experience and a must do in Georgia! Thank you so much
This tour was without a doubt one of the highlights of our trip to Georgia! From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized, and our guide was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely welcoming. His passion for Georgian culture, history, and winemaking made every stop along the way even more special. The absolute highlight of the day was the wonderful lunch at our guide’s own winery. We were treated to authentic homemade Georgian dishes, all freshly prepared and absolutely delicious. The hospitality was exceptional, making us feel more like guests of the family than tourists. The wine tasting was equally impressive – we sampled several excellent wines, each with its own unique character, and it was fascinating to hear the stories and traditions behind them. The rest of the tour was just as memorable. The breathtaking views of the Alazani Valley, the charming streets of Sighnaghi, the historic sites, and the authentic local experiences made this a truly unforgettable day. Every location we visited was beautiful and offered a deeper insight into the rich culture and traditions of Kakheti. If you are looking for an authentic, high-quality experience away from the typical tourist crowds, this tour is an absolute must. A huge thank you to our guide for his outstanding hospitality, expertise, and for sharing his winery, wines, and culture with us. Highly recommended! Giga is a masterclass⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Excellent tour. Giga, our tour guide was very professional and knowledgeable. It was a great way to see Kakheti and to enjoy the Georgian hospitality. The lunch at the family's house was amazing with lots of great home-cooked food. We enjoyed wine tasting at two different vineyards as well as learning about Georgian wine making. I would definitely recommend this tour, and it was the highlight of our time in Georgia.
