“We had an amazing wine tour with our guide Sofia! She taught us all about the history of Georgian wine-making and the strong culture of food and drink here. Sofia was full of energy and so welcoming and friendly from the very start of the day. Thanks to her wonderfully friendly and open nature, and personal anecdotes, the whole tour bus felt like we were old friends by the end of the day!

“Private wine tour- It’s the best decision you can make during your time in Sakartvelo. As a wine lover couple we have enjoyed so much the trip to Kakheti region. It’s not only the wine you will enjoy on your tour but also all the village views: raw meet sales spots, chuchkhela, fresh bread and cheese, stray dogs and cows near the road. Cacasus mountains view is worth it’s own 5* rating. And the dinner at the local family experience is simply exceptional. Special thanks to our guide Giorgi!”

“The Kakheti region is stunning and although the natural landscape was beautiful the star of our trip was our guide Zezva. Zezva is passionate, knowledgable and just simply wonderful. We learnt not only about Kakheti region but about Georgia and Georgians from him.

I can’t compliment him enough he was amazing and really made our trip memorable. Thank you Zezva for being an excellent ambassador for your country!”
