2 Day: Sighnaghi-Bodbe-Tsinandali-lunch-degustation
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.
