Is this a private tour or a shared group?
Private: your car, your guide, no other travellers joining the vehicle.
Which estate do we visit in Kvareli?
We work with a reliable Kvareli producer known for Kindzmarauli and the old wine tunnel; the exact venue is confirmed at booking depending on availability.
Can the lunch be vegetarian?
Yes, the family cellar can prepare a vegetarian version if you tell us when booking.
What if we want to skip Kvareli and add more time in Sighnaghi?
Possible on request; the itinerary can be adjusted before the day, within the 10-hour window.
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.
