A day built around food rather than sights: bake bread in a clay tone, make cheese with a Kakheti farm family, grill mtsvadi over vine cuttings, then taste wine before [Sighnaghi](https://gtour.ge/georgia/sighnaghi/) at dusk.

The route

[Tbilisi](https://gtour.ge/georgia/tbilisi/)[Telavi](https://gtour.ge/georgia/telavi/)[Sighnaghi](https://gtour.ge/georgia/sighnaghi/)

Why this tour

- —Hands-on bread baking in a traditional tone oven, not a demonstration you watch from the side

- —Cheese-making with a farm family using their own milk, not a staged photo stop

- —Mtsvadi grilled the Kakhetian way, over dried vine cuttings rather than charcoal

- —A small family cellar tasting qvevri wine, distinct from the larger commercial wineries most tours visit

- —[Sighnaghi](https://gtour.ge/georgia/sighnaghi/)'s fortress walls and streets seen at dusk, after the day-trip crowds have left

- —One vehicle, one guide, no restaurant stop substituted for the farm meal

Itinerary

08:30Depart [Tbilisi](https://gtour.ge/georgia/tbilisi/) heading east into Kakheti; the drive to the farm near [Telavi](https://gtour.ge/georgia/telavi/) takes around 1 hour 45 minutes.

10:15Arrive at a family farm and bake shotis puri in a wood-fired clay tone, shaping and baking your own loaf.

11:15Make cheese with the farm family, working fresh milk into sulguni or imeruli style curd by hand.

12:30Lunch at the farm table: mtsvadi grilled over vine cuttings, served with the morning's bread and cheese.

14:00Visit a small family-run cellar nearby for a tasting of three or four qvevri wines, with the family explaining their own harvest and method.

15:00Drive to [Sighnaghi](https://gtour.ge/georgia/sighnaghi/), about 45 minutes, descending toward the Alazani valley.

15:45Walk the 18th-century fortress walls and streets of [Sighnaghi](https://gtour.ge/georgia/sighnaghi/) as the light turns toward dusk, with free time to browse workshops and the main square.

17:00Depart for [Tbilisi](https://gtour.ge/georgia/tbilisi/), arriving around 18:45 depending on traffic.

Good to know

- · Wear closed shoes; the farmyard and cellar floors are uneven and can be muddy after rain

- · The tone oven and grill are outdoors under a shelter; late October can be cool, bring a layer

- · The grape harvest (rtveli) is finished by this date, but cellar work and tasting continue year-round

- · Cheese making and bread baking are both done standing, with some bending; suitable for most fitness levels but let us know of any mobility limits

- · A vegetarian version of lunch can be arranged with the farm family, checked at booking

- · Cellars in Kakheti are often below ground and noticeably cooler than outside

Questions

**Can vegetarians join this tour?**
Yes, the bread and cheese making are unaffected, and the farm can prepare a vegetarian main in place of mtsvadi; confirm this when booking.

**What happens if it rains?**
The tone oven and grill are under cover, and the cheese-making and cellar visit are indoor, so the day runs as planned in most weather.

**Is this suitable for children?**
Yes, the hands-on bread and cheese making works well for families; the cellar tasting is for adults but children are welcome to look around.

**Does this trip visit Bodbe Monastery?**
No, this itinerary stays focused on food and craft; Bodbe and St Nino's tomb are covered on our [Sighnaghi](https://gtour.ge/georgia/sighnaghi/) and Bodbe day trip instead.

Prices are per person for two travelling together, in euros; solo travellers and larger groups are quoted on request. Every departure is private and adjusted to you. Hotels, wineries and restaurants on our routes are [verified by GTour](/verified/).
