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.
| Day 1 | Morning pickup in Tbilisi, drive east into Kakheti (about two hours). Stop at Alaverdi Monastery, then on to Telavi for a cellar tasting and a look at the old plane tree in the town centre. Evening at a family-run wine estate near Telavi, dinner by the fireplace. |
| Day 2 | Morning in Sighnaghi, walking the restored fortress wall above the Alazani valley. Visit Bodbe Convent and the tomb of St Nino, with time for a second cellar stop on the way back, then drive to Tbilisi, arriving by early evening. |
Is Kakheti worth visiting in winter, or is everything closed?
Cellars stay open year-round and tastings are often more relaxed than in high season. Some smaller guesthouses reduce hours, which is why we check specifics at booking.
What is the wine estate like?
A family-run property near Telavi with heated rooms and a fireplace dining room, not a large hotel. Exact amenities are confirmed when we book your dates.
Can we extend with a day in Tbilisi before or after?
Yes, we can add a Tbilisi day or an airport transfer on either end; let us know when you enquire.
What happens if snow closes a mountain pass or road?
The Tbilisi–Kakheti route is a main paved road and is rarely closed, though drive times can lengthen in bad weather. We check road status before departure and adjust the order of stops if needed.
