Everyone likes Kakheti, but everyone opens it differently?
Reputable businessmen, couples in love, mothers with children, teenagers in headphones… It’s all you, my tourists and guests. So different, but equally tired of the hustle and bustle, sad news. At home, worries and deeds await you, you need to run somewhere and decide something. But that’s all – somewhere out there.
And now you are driving along a mountain road to Kakheti, the sun is rising higher, the driver is quietly singing his favorite songs under his breath. I start to tell and understand that each of you will return from a trip a little different. Because Kakheti is about the soul.
You will ascend to the Bodbe Monastery, where St. Nino, the Christian Enlightener of Georgia, rests. There is a special prayerful atmosphere here: temples, shrines, a healing spring … It is quiet, calm, very green and cozy here. People come here with their prayers and hopes, bring their joy and pain, restore their spiritual strength. Because Kakheti is about love.
You will walk along the winding streets of the city of Sighnaghi, admire the architecture (something similar to Italian) and amazing nature. How is “Million-million-million scarlet roses” related to this place? What attracts romantics from all over the world here? Why is it called the “City of Love”? Here you will find many new discoveries. Because Kakheti is about wine.
Tart, red, white, sweet, dry, different… You will see real vineyards, get acquainted with the unique method of wine production, visit one of the best wineries in the country – Kindzmarauli. Participate in a tasting and perhaps take home a piece of sunny Georgia in bottle glass.
Because Kakheti is about people. You will visit a local farm where you will have a whole feast – with traditional food, homemade wine, toasts and songs. And you are no longer just tourists: you are dear guests who came from afar, grandchildren who visited their grandmother, you feel good, tasty, warm and fun. You are at home.
Because Kakheti is about each of us.
