Винный тур по Грузии на 7 дней: Кахетия и Картли, индивидуально

Царь Вахтанг Горгасали основал Тбилиси в V веке на горячих источниках, которые по сей день питают купольные серные бани Старого города. Поднимитесь в крепость Нарикала с панорамными видами, побродите по мощёным переулкам и резным деревянным балконам Старого Тбилиси, затем пересеките освещённый Мост Мира к величественному проспекту Руставели. Вечерами ждут хинкали, хачапури и вино одной из старейших традиций в мире, нередко под грузинское полифоническое пение.

A 19th-century palace and winery of the Mukhranbatoni princes in the Mukhrani valley of Kartli, restored as a working wine estate. It offers cellar tours, tastings and meals, and pairs well with a morning in Mtskheta.

Telavi is the heart of Kakheti, Georgia's wine country, where vineyard-covered valleys meet centuries of royal history. A royal seat of the Kakhetian kings, whose Batonis Tsikhe fortress was King Erekle II's residence in the 18th century, it surrounds you with sights like the towering Alaverdi Cathedral, the Ikalto academy, and the Chavchavadze estate and cellars at Tsinandali. Days here move from castle walls and monasteries to long tables of mtsvadi, fresh shoti bread, and deep-red Saperavi poured straight from the source. Come in autumn for the grape harvest and you'll taste the region at its most alive.

In the heart of Kakheti, Tsinandali centres on the elegant Chavchavadze Estate of the poet Alexander Chavchavadze, who built a winery here in the 1830s that blended European and Georgian methods. Stroll the English-style gardens, tour the house museum, and descend into the enoteca, whose collection holds bottles from 1814, including the famous 1841 Saperavi. With concerts and harvest celebrations through autumn, it pairs aristocratic history with the easy pleasures of Georgian wine country.

Rising over the vineyards of Kakheti, Alaverdi's cathedral has stood since the 11th century, when King Kvirike III raised it on the site of a monastery founded in the 6th century by Joseph of Alaverdi, one of the Thirteen Assyrian Fathers. At about 50 meters it was the tallest church in Georgia until 2004, and the monks here still keep a living wine tradition in their own cellar. Visit in September for the Alaverdoba festival, then continue to the nearby wine towns of Telavi and Tsinandali.

Обнесённый стеной город на холме в винном краю Кахетии, Сигнахи сохраняет одну из лучших крепостных стен Грузии: 23 башни смотрят на покрытую виноградниками долину Алазани в сторону Кавказа. Пройдитесь по бастионам, попробуйте вино квеври, сделанное по древнему способу в «Хвостах Фазана», и посмотрите картины Нико Пиросмани в городском музее. Неподалёку монастырь Бодбе хранит гробницу Святой Нино, привлекая паломников в садовые террасы на холме.

A late-5th-century basilica in Kvemo Kartli and one of the oldest surviving churches in Georgia. Its building inscriptions, from the 490s, are among the oldest dated texts in the Georgian script.
