What's included in the tour price?

The private tour includes transportation, guide services, entrance fees to Bodbe Monastery and Telavi sites, and wine tasting at a local winery. A traditional Georgian lunch is typically included; confirm specifics with your operator.

Do I need wine knowledge to enjoy the wine tasting?

No. Your guide will introduce you to Kakheti's signature varieties (Saperavi and Rkatsiteli) and explain the region's winemaking traditions, making it accessible for beginners and enthusiasts alike.

Is the tour physically demanding?

Moderate fitness is recommended. Signagi involves uphill walking on cobblestones, and Bodbe Monastery requires climbing stairs to the terrace. Most sections are manageable for those comfortable with gentle hiking.

What time does the tour start and end?

The 11-hour tour typically departs Tbilisi early morning (around 8–9 AM) and returns by evening (around 7–8 PM). Confirm exact times with your booking confirmation.

Can I visit Signagi and Bodbe Monastery separately, or is it a packaged tour?

This is a full-day private package combining Signagi, Bodbe, Telavi, and wine tasting. However, private tours often allow flexibility—discuss custom routing with your guide or operator.

Is this tour suitable for solo travellers?

Yes. Solo travellers benefit from private guidance and a flexible pace, though the per-person cost may be higher than group tours. Some operators offer options to join small groups for Kakheti day trips.
