What You’ll Experience

Bodbe Monastery of St. Nino

Bodbe Monastery is your first stop. Located just 2 kilometers from Sighnaghi, this monastery is a significant pilgrimage site as it is the final resting place of St. Nino, the Enlightener of Georgia, who brought Christianity to the country in the 4th century. The monastery, originally built in the 9th century, has undergone several renovations but still retains its historic charm. The serene gardens and the holy spring of St. Nino, believed to have healing properties, add to the spiritual atmosphere of this sacred site.

The Sighnaghi Museum

Visit the local Sighnaghi Museum, which houses an impressive collection of artworks by Niko Pirosmani, one of Georgia's most famous and beloved painters. Pirosmani (1862-1918) was a self-taught artist whose naïve style and depiction of Georgian life, culture, and traditions have earned him a special place in the hearts of Georgians. His paintings often feature scenes of rural life, feasts, and animals, capturing the essence of Georgian folk culture. Pirosmani's importance lies not only in his unique artistic style but also in his ability to convey the spirit and soul of Georgia. His works are celebrated for their emotional depth, simplicity, and vibrant colors, making him an iconic figure in Georgian art history.

Kakheti Region

No visit to Kakheti would be complete without experiencing the region's famous wines. Head to one of the local wineries for a wine tour and tasting session. Georgia is one of the oldest wine-producing regions in the world, with a history that dates back 8,000 years. The traditional Georgian wine is made in Kvevri, large clay vessels buried underground, which gives the wine its distinctive flavor. During the tour, you will learn about the ancient winemaking process and sample a variety of wines, including the famous Saperavi (red) and Rkatsiteli (white) wines. The winery tour often includes a walk through the vineyards, a visit to the wine cellars, and an opportunity to see the Kvevri winemaking process up close.

Each dish is perfectly complemented by the region's wines, enhancing the overall dining experience.
