Sighnaghi, Bodbe & Telavi Full-Day Tour

Kakheti is the most fertile region in Georgia and the birthplace of the best wine in the entire post-Soviet space. Hectares of vineyards, many ancient temples and monasteries, sleepy towns with tiled roofs: sometimes it begins to seem that this is not Georgia at all, but Provence or Tuscany. We go to Sighnaghi, a city of love in the style of southern Italian classicism, which is famous for its fortress of the same name, included in the list of the most famous and largest fortresses of Georgia (XVIII century). And before us there are views of extraordinary beauty of the Alazani Valley. There are amazing places where wishes are necessarily fulfilled. Such a place is the Basilica of St. Nino in the convent "Bodbe". If desired, you can go down to the miraculous spring of St. Nino. We will visit the city of Telavi where the beloved "Mimino" never got through, we will see a 900-year-old plane tree at which we will make a wish and the palace of King Heraclius II. The road through the pass from the turn to Telavi has a length of 65 kilometers. Gombor Ridge in the distant past was a strategic height, so it was reliably fortified. The first of the attractions on the way is the Ujarma Fortress, which was the residence of Vakhtang Gorgasali, the founder of Tbilisi. Probably, the king and the retinue during numerous trips laid such a convenient route that it is used fifteen hundred years later. In any case, the modern road passes next to the fortress, so that Ujarma can not pass. Another thing is the fortress of Verona near the village of the same name. The history of this place will be as difficult to dig up as it is to find the ruins of stone walls through which centuries-old trees have sprouted. This tour is a perfect blend of history, religion, nature, and the famous wine region of Georgia.
