Night in Tbilisi
2 Day: Signaghi-Bodbe-Tsinandali
Breakfast
The sightseeing city of Sighnaghi is the main attraction of the Alazani Valley in the Kakheti region. Due to its location – almost on the top of the mountain, Sighnaghi was never captured by enemies, thanks to which it has survived to this day almost in its original form. One of the most important sights of the city of Sighnaghi – the monastery of St. Nino – is located in the town of Bodbe, a few kilometers from Sighnaghi. Here lie the relics of the most revered saint in Georgia, who brought Christianity to the country – the very Nino who lived under the blackberry bush in Samtavro monastery in Mtskheta and put the first cross on Mount Jvari made of vine and intertwined with her own hair.
Prince Alexander Chavchavadze, the founder of the Georgian romanticism turned the estate in the village of Tsinandali, which he inherited from his father into cultural and intellectual center of the country, the status it preserves to this day. For the first time in the country’s history, wine was bottled in the historic cellar of Tsinandali. The collection of Alexander Chavchavadze’s wines is also stored here – more than 15,000 bottles.
After a busy program, we will visit a household where we will have a delicious lunch and learn how to cook ancient Georgian dishes.

3 Day: Mtskheta-Jvari-Samtavro
Breakfast
Mtskheta was the ancient capital of Kartli, the East Georgian Kingdom from the 3rd century BC to the 5th century AD, and was also the location where Christianity was proclaimed as the official religion of Georgia in 337. The complex of the Svetitskhoveli Cathedral in the centre of the town includes the cathedral church, the palace and the gates of the Katolikos Melchizedek that date from the 11th century, built on the site of earlier churches dating back to the 5th century. The cruciform cathedral is crowned with a high cupola over the crossing, and there are remains of important wall paintings in the interior. The rich sculpted decoration of the elevations comes from various periods of its long history. The VI century Georgian Orthodox monastery Jvari is built on a hill opposite Mtskheta, at the confluence of Aragvi and Mtkvari rivers. The church is included in the UNESCO World Heritage Site list. The small domed church of the Samtavro Monastery was originally built in the 4th century and has since been subject to various restorations. The main church of the monastery was built in the early 11th century. It contains the grave of Mirian III, the king of Iberia who established Christianity as official religion in Georgia.
After a day of sightseeing we will have a delicious lunch with a master class.
