What's included in the 3-day tour?

The package covers private minivan transport, visits to the 6th-century rock-hewn monastery, Sighnaghi, Bodbe Monastery, medieval monasteries throughout Kakheti, and guided exploration of the region's cultural and natural highlights. Accommodation (2 nights) is typically included; confirm wine tastings and meals at booking.

Is this suitable for non-drinkers?

Yes. While Kakheti is Georgia's wine heartland, the tour emphasizes historical monasteries, architecture, and mountain scenery. Wine tastings are part of cultural immersion but can often be adjusted; discuss preferences with your tour operator.

How difficult is the walking and hiking?

Most sites involve moderate walking on uneven, sometimes steep terrain at monasteries and around Sighnaghi. No technical climbing is required, but comfortable, sturdy footwear is essential. Those with mobility concerns should notify the operator in advance.

What's special about Sighnaghi?

Perched on a hilltop with 360° Caucasus views, Sighnaghi is known as Georgia's 'City of Love' for its romantic atmosphere, narrow cobbled streets, traditional architecture, and wine bars. It's one of the Kakheti region's most picturesque towns.

Will I have time to relax or is it non-stop sightseeing?

As a 3-day private tour, pacing is flexible. You'll have dedicated time in Sighnaghi to explore at leisure, plus opportunities to rest between monastery visits and enjoy meals. Confirm your preferred balance of activity and downtime with the operator.

Do I need a visa for Georgia?

Visa requirements depend on your nationality. Most EU, US, UK, and Australian citizens receive 365 days visa-free entry. Check current regulations with the Georgian embassy for your country; visas are typically quick and affordable if required.

our host Zara was brilliant and the warm baklava at the last stop was the highlight. For our anniversary so it wasnt too busy. Ideal with kids (ours are 6 and 9), and rolled home properly stuffed, and went last tuesday. Would book again no question.

our host Marco was nice enough, but the warm baklava at the last stop felt a bit rushed honestly, and expected more, our Rome food tour was better value, tbh
