Über Tsinandali
Im Herzen Kachetiens steht Tsinandali im Mittelpunkt der eleganten Tschawtschwadse-Anlage, wo der Dichter Alexander Tschawtschwadse 1818 den europäischen Weinbau nach Georgien brachte. Schlendern Sie durch die englischen Gärten, besichtigen Sie das Anlagemuseum und steigen Sie hinab in einen Keller, dessen Weingut von 1841 noch seinen gefeierten Weißwein ausschenkt. Mit Konzerten und Erntedankfeiern im Herbst verbindet es aristokratische Geschichte mit den schlichten Freuden des georgischen Weinlandes.

Georgia in 14 Days — Grand Discovery
The definitive two-week journey across Georgia, east to west and mountains to sea. From Tbilisi you explore the wine villages of Kakheti, climb the Military Road to Gergeti Trinity beneath Mount Kazbek, and visit Stalin's Gori, the cave town of Uplistsikhe and Queen Tamar's cliff city at Vardzia. Then west into ancient Colchis — Kutaisi's UNESCO monasteries — and up the Enguri gorge to the medieval Svan towers of Mestia and Ushguli, before finishing on the Black Sea at Batumi. Fourteen unhurried days, every region, expertly guided.
Kakheti Wine Discovery
Georgia gave the world wine 8,000 years ago, and over three days in Kakheti you taste why it still matters. You walk the Alazani Valley, sit with families who still ferment in buried qvevri clay vessels, and learn the method by hand rather than from a placard. You wander Sighnaghi, the walled City of Love, stop at the Bodbe convent, and tour the elegant Tsinandali estate. It ends the right way: a full supra feast, glasses kept full, a little chacha to close. You leave knowing Georgian wine from the inside, not the label.
Kakheti Wine & Tsinandali — Day Trip
Kakheti is where wine was born — Georgians have buried grapes in clay qvevri here for 8,000 years, and this day gives you the heart of it. You'll walk the cobbled lanes of Sighnaghi high above the Alazani Valley, pause at the hilltop Bodbe convent where St Nino is buried, and tour the elegant Chavchavadze estate at Tsinandali, whose 1841 cellar still ages wine the noble way. A guided tasting, vineyard panoramas around Telavi, and lunch with the whole valley spread below — it's the perfect single-day taste of Georgia's wine country.
