Winter Kakheti — Cellars by the Fire, 2 Days

Kakheti in winter: warm cellars, a fireplace dinner at a wine estate, and Sighnaghi's walls quiet under snow, over two unhurried days from Tbilisi.

• —Low season in wine country: cellars are quiet and owners have time to talk you through the tasting
• —One night at a family-run wine estate near Telavi, dinner by the fireplace
• —Sighnaghi's 18th-century fortress wall and the Alazani valley view, often under snow December to February
• —Bodbe Convent and the tomb of St Nino without the summer bus groups
• —Telavi's royal palace and the old plane tree, Kakheti's regional base, seen at its own pace
• —Private car and driver throughout, no fixed group schedule to work around

• · The Tbilisi–Telavi road is paved and generally kept clear, but ice and occasional snow are possible December through February, which can add time to the drive
• · Bring layers: cellars and the estate dining room are heated, but monastery courtyards and Sighnaghi's cobbled streets are cold and can be icy underfoot
• · Alaverdi and Bodbe are working religious sites; modest dress is required and women need a head covering (bring one or borrow one at the gate)
• · Walking is easy throughout, no hiking, but good closed shoes help on wet stone
• · Daylight is short in winter (sunset around 17:00–17:30), so the schedule is built around that rather than summer hours
• · Room heating and hot water at the wine estate should be confirmed at booking, as standards vary between small family properties
