Depart for your flight to Tbilisi, Georgia.

In the evening, visit the Alexander Chavchavadze Museum. The Museum-Estate of Princes Chavchavadze in Tsinandali belongs to the historical monuments of the 19th century. In his family estate, Prince Alexander laid out an English park and created the first winery in the history of Georgia. The Georgian aristocracy gathered here, A. Griboyedov, who later married Princess Nina, was a frequent guest in the house. After the excursion, we will taste the local wine.

Overnight in Alazani Valley.

Today we will visit Zaza Kbilashvili’s family in the village of Vardisubani. Here we will see how Georgian potters make clay jugs for storing wine. The family has been making these kinds of jugs (in Georgian, they are called qvevri) for many years. They start by making coils with their fingers. And then they keep adding new coils every two days, the same way as the Georgians used to do it more than 8 thousand years ago.

Next, transfer to Chateau Zegaani (circa 1820). The owners of Chateau Zegaani, David and Natalia Tatulashvili, restored the prince’s palace to its original appearance and, following the old Georgian winemaking traditions, have been making wine using Kakheti and European technology since 2010. This wine can justifiably be called the best in Georgia. No more than a few hundred bottles of elite Chateau Zegaani wines are made every year. They are not available on the market and are only distributed among members of the Chateau Zegaani Club. David will give us a tour of the chateau. We will take a look at its cellars, where the wine is kept and matures. We will take a look into the inner sanctum—the pouring shop equipped with state-of-the-art technology. After the tour, we will taste four types of wine. As we do, the sommelier will give us a detailed account of the wines we are tasting.

Lunch turns into dinner at Chateau Zegaani.

Transfer back to the hotel. Overnight in Alazani Valley.

Today we will transfer to Tbilisi.

In the evening, visit famous Tbilisi Sulfur Baths. Here you can have a private VIP hall, with hot and cold-water pool. Also you can enjoy massage, after massage homemade tea with marmalade will give you inexpressible pleasure.

Dinner at a city restaurant.

Overnight in Tbilisi.

This morning, set out on your Tbilisi walking tour. Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia, is situated in the Eastern Georgia. Tbilisi has been the capital of Georgia since the 5th century AD. Vakhtang Gorgasali, king of Kartli, founded the city. Because of its location at the crossroads between Europe and Asia, and its proximity to the Silk Road, throughout history, Tbilisi has been an important city. Historically, Tbilisi has been home to people of diverse cultural, ethnic, and religious backgrounds, though its population is overwhelmingly Eastern Orthodox Christian.

In the afternoon, you will take an excursion to Mtskheta, the ancient capital of Georgia. Jvari monastery is located on the top of a small hill, providing a fascinating view of this old capital of Georgia. From this spot, you can take photos and enjoy the view.

Next we visit Svetitskhoveli – one of the most sacred places in Georgia. Current impressive temple has been built in 11th century and it is the biggest out of the churches built before 21st century in Georgia. During the centuries, the temple has been seriously damaged and repaired several times. Currently it is on the UNESCO List of the World Cultural Heritage.

Return to Tbilisi for dinner at a local restaurant, accompanied by Georgian polyphony.
