Things to do in Sighnaghi

Perched on a hilltop above the sweeping Alazani Valley, Sighnaghi is the romantic heart of Kakheti wine country, its cobblestone lanes enclosed by 18th-century fortress walls studded with watchtowers. The region around it gave the world qvevri winemaking — amber wines fermented in clay amphoras buried underground — and the cellars of local estates pour some of Georgia's most distinctive natural vintages. The holy Bodbe Monastery, resting place of Saint Nino, lies just minutes away. Explore the highest-rated wine and culture tours below.
