Private Wine Tour to Kakheti from Tbilisi

Pick up from your place of stay in Tbilisi in the morning.

You’ll start the journey to the wine land via picturesque Gombori pass, 5315 feet (1620 m) above sea level.

Your first stop is in Tsinandali, at the residence of a Kakheti nobleman of the 19th century, Alexandre Chavchavadze. The Tsinandali winery still produces wines according to the methods brought here by Chavchavadze when he revived the estate in the first half of 19th century. Take a walk in the decorative garden with a glass of wine from Tsinandali wine cellars and learn the history of the one of the royal families of Georgia.

Next head to Shumi winery located just a few minutes' drives from Tsinandali. Here you’ll have a tour in the winery which presents a collection of wine-related exhibits, a history and culture department, and a wine-tasting area. Taste Shumi wines made according to European methods of wine-making.

On the way back to Tbilisi, visit Shuamta village and two important and beautiful architectural monuments of Kakheti – Old and New Shuamta monasteries. Both of them stand in a forest of deciduous trees, which makes them look even more fascinating. In the evening return to your place of stay in Tbilisi.
