Excursion to South Kakheti by the residence of the Kakhetian king Imamkuli Khan Manavi fortress.
We will start our journey through Southern Kakheti from the fortress of Manavi, which was the residence of the Kakhetian king. Further on our way we will meet the Bodbe Monastery - one of the most revered in Georgia. Sighnaghi is the city of love, here we will visit the Georgian wine store
The first point in this fascinating tour of south Kakheti will be the medieval fortress of Manavi, located on a high hill. Unfortunately, very little is known about its history.
According to legend, at one time it was the residence of the Kakheti king Imamkuli Khan. Also in 1812 there was a battle of Georgian rebels with the tsarist army. There is a rich cultural layer on the territory adjacent to the fortress. As a result of the excavations, ceramics from the period of late antiquity and the early Middle Ages were found.
After that we will go to Bodbe Monastery, one of the most revered in all of Georgia. Next, according to the plan, we will visit the town of love and artists of Sighnaghi, where we will take a walk. We will see a boutique of elite Georgian wines, paintings by the famous artist Pirosmani, climb the fortress wall and towers.
All the remaining places that we will visit are related to winemaking. The first of them is a small home winery "Numisi", with a cellar of the 16th century, tasting and a trip to a private museum of antiquities.
Then we will head to the town of Kvareli, where the Graneli winery is located, where there will also be tasting and tips on buying wines. The program of the excursion can be changed at will and circumstances.
