What people are saying about Sighnaghi

I recently went on a wine tour in Tiblisi Georgia and it was absolutely fantastic! The owner was so friendly and welcoming, and really made us feel like we were part of the family. One of the highlights of the tour was when he took us to a local home and we got to experience the culture firsthand. It was truly an unforgettable experience. The owner was also an expert on the local wines, and he took us to some of the best wineries in the region. The wine was delicious and we learned so much about the different varietals and the history of Georgian wine. But perhaps the best part of the tour was the bread and cheese. It was some of the best bread I've ever had and it really added to the overall experience. Overall, I highly recommend this wine tour to anyone visiting Tiblisi. It was a truly memorable experience and I can't thank the owner enough for his warm hospitality and for sharing his culture with us.

Absolutely fantastic experience. We were picked up from our hotel by Khatuna in her very comfortable and clean car. Tour was exactly as described in the offer. We visited wine factory, tried delicious bread and cheese, visited a old fortress, went to the monastery and had beautiful lunch with the breathtaking view in city of love. Our experience was unforgettable because of Khatuna. We felt safe with her and were treated like her old friends. She has incredible knowledge about history and georgian culture. Most important She gave us an unlimited freedom during this trip. If you want to go for a wine tour in georgia and cannot decide who to choose - think no more - call Khatuna and you will have your best day in georgia with her. I am giving her 5 stars only because I cannot give 6.

Great experience, we had the chance to stop to and meet some locals eating freshly baked bread and cheese. Lika the guide was great and was explaining everything with big knowledge of anything we asked about wine, Georgia or even general topics that we discussed about during our tour. The wine was good and we had the chance to try different types. thank you :)

Such a great tour! The guide was super knowledgeable and made sure everyone had a great day. So many unique experiences all in one day. Highly recommend!

Worth the money and more! Worth paying extra on the day for the lunch as well!
