    Such an original tour where you meet local Georgian people in their wineries and experience the famous Georgian hosptality. We had a ride through a beautiful region of Kakheti together with trying so many different types of wines and chachas. And the lunch we had in one on the wine yards was fresh and delicious homemade Georgian cuisine! Our guide Zura was opened and welcoming answering every small question and telling interesting stories. The tour was comfortable as we were driving in a new car and in the end were brought directly to our hotel. This was a great and fun trip to get to know Georgia, very much recommended

    This tour was something else! I highly recommend this tour for anyone that likes wine and enjoying life! it was really interesting, well-paced and the guide, Zura, was a real professional. Everything was highly professional yet still very personal.

    A very different experience from traditional European wine tasting sessions we have done in the past. This was a far more intimate and informative look into organic and traditional production methods on a non commercial level in the Kakheti region. From learning about how the clay fermentation vessels - Qvevri - are made to meeting the families that produce some fantastic and unique wines it a far more enjoyable experience to those we have been on previously. The wine makers were welcoming and more than happy to tell you everything about their wine with a passion. Each producer we visited were hospitable and offered several glasses of wine to taste and enjoy. Most sessions ended in a toast where we were offered Chacha, this is the local hard liquor similar in taste to a mild brandy. Beware some are double or triple distilled so can reach a chest warming 70% alcohol content. A hearty lunch was provided at the third vineyard which was an excellent offering of local dishes accompanied be their wine offering all of which were excellent. Our guide Zura was very accommodating and did well to decipher and translate our questions after we had several glasses of wine! The tour was well coordinated and ran as planned. Zura was also more than happy to offer suggestions for restaurants and other experiences within Tbilisi and the wider region. At each vineyard there is an opportunity to purchase wine made on smaller scale not readily available elsewhere. Expect to pay 35 - 40 Lari for a bottle so very much a worthwhile investment. We took this tour on our first day in Georgia and it was a fantastic introduction to the people, their culture and the country as a whole, we would highly recommend it.

    It was a unique experience! Choosing Zura's tour was the best thing I could do. I learned a lot about the Georgian way of making wine. There were also many different wines and chachas to try. We had a really nice atmosphere with a lot of fun. The winegrowers were hospitable and it was nice to see such small wineries. The lunch was also super delicious and we could sit outside in the sun. little hint: If you want to drink each glass empty you should not have so many plans for the evening anymore :D

    友人と参加しました。 複数のワイナリーを訪問しました。ジョージ アワイン作りに欠かせないクヴェヴリを見た り、ぶどう狩りをしたり、ぶどうを自分たち で踏み潰してみたり、もちろん沢山の種類の ワインをテイスティングしたりと、盛り沢山 なツアーでした。ワイナリーの中でランチが 出来たのも最高です。 ガイドは英語が上手で知識も豊富だったのも 素晴らしいです。 残念だったのが、ツアーに写真が含まれてい たのにツアー後送ってもらえなかった点と、 その後メールをしたにもかかわらず送っても らえなかった点です。

    From start to finish this was a brilliant day. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and very enthusiastic about Georgian wine. Each of the wineries we visited was a different experience and they were all very informative and had a big range of wines to taste. The wine was amazing, the food delicious and the chacha made the day go very quickly! Highly recommended!

    Очень насыщенный и интересный тур, посвященный грузинским винам. Тур не только о разных видах вин и дегустациях, но и о его производстве. За день можно узнать все о вине и его производстве в Грузии: погулять по виноградникам, посмотреть как делают огромные квеври, как их используют для производства вина (и даже немного в этом производстве поучаствовать) и сразу же это вино попробовать. Самое интересное, что все это происходит в "полевых условиях" - на настоящих винодельнях, а о вине рассказывает не только гид, но и сами виноделы, которые занимаются вином всю жизнь. Мы за день были на 4 винодельнях, попробовали около 15(?) видов вина и чачи, причем каждого вина для дегустации было примерно столько же, сколько наливают иногда в ресторанах :) Столько разных вин я не смогла бы попробовать за весь свой отпуск в Грузии. Тур спланирован очень комфортно - за счет того, что прогулки, дегустации и рассказы о вине чередуются, нет чувства усталости, в середине тура организован обед (тоже с дегустацией). Так как группа небольшая, то очень быстро возникает теплая атмосфера грузинского застолья. Огромное спасибо нашему гиду Зуре, который все это продумал, организовал и рассказал столько всего интересного о винах. Чувствуется, что для него грузинское вино - это важная часть культуры его страны, которой он так увлекательно делится.

    Много слышала о грузинском вине и гостеприимстве и наконец-то смогла почувствовать это вживую. Тур просто бомба!мы посетили так много прекрасных мест и попробовали столько вина, что я до сих пор в восторге. Мы пили вина,сделанные по грузинской технологии и по европейской, вина,сделанные на большом заводе и в частных винодельнях ( саперави,Ркацители,КИСИ и мцване, мукузани и хванчаку- все это, и даже больше мы попробовали). Ну и ланч - выше всяких похвал. Спасибо нашему чудесному гиду Анне за крутое времяпровождение. Анна знает про вино все и даже больше. Однозначно рекомендую каждому к посещению!)

    It was big pleasure to take this tour! We visited several wineries, enjoyed beautiful landscapes of Kakheti, had amazing lunch in the vineyards and took part in collecting grapes. After this tour you will get understanding about Georgian winemaking and traditions connected with it. We had chance to try very different types of local wine and see how and where grapes grow. The guide is a professional with a lot of knowledge about local winemaking and local culture. We also met local winemakers and our guide helped us to communicate with them and translated our questions. Highly recommend!
