A private day trip from Tbilisi to Sighnaghi — the “City of Love” and one of the prettiest corners of Kakheti. Cobbled old-town streets, sweeping views over the Alazani Valley, the town wall and, if you like, a wine tasting at a local winery. Your group only, a relaxed pace and a day shaped around what you want.
Your driver-guide picks you up at your hotel or any address in Tbilisi. The drive into Kakheti takes about 1.5–2 hours — open horizons, vineyards and the first views of the region along the way.
A walk along cobbled streets with carved balconies and tiled roofs. A calm rhythm, cosy atmosphere and your best shots of the “City of Love”.
Lookouts over the valley with the Caucasus ridge on the horizon — calm, spacious, unforgettable views that people come here for.
Walk the preserved stretch of the town wall with its towers and learn the story of the region and its cultural heritage.
St Nino’s convent a few kilometres from town — a peaceful spot with gardens and a valley view. Added to the day when we agree the plan.
On request we arrange a tasting at a local winery — an introduction to Kakheti’s wine traditions. Paid separately.
Lunch at a cosy local restaurant with Kakhetian dishes. Paid at the venue.
An overnight in Kakheti and a calmer second day: sunrise over the valley, historic Telavi if you wish, an extended wine tasting and free time for cafés and viewpoints. The exact plan is confirmed in advance.
Comfortable private car, driver-guide, photo stops along the route, booking coordination and support.
The same for a group of 3–4: private car, driver-guide, photo stops and full booking coordination.
A calmer second day in Kakheti: sunrise over the valley, Telavi if you wish, an extended tasting. Overnight and exact plan are confirmed in advance.

Couples, families, friends and small groups of up to 4 who want a beautiful, unhurried day in Kakheti without a big bus group. It works both as a first introduction to the region and for returning travellers who want to see Georgia’s more romantic side.
The one-day format takes 8–11 hours from pickup to drop-off in Tbilisi. The drive to Sighnaghi along the Kakheti highway is roughly 1.5–2 hours each way; with the optional second day the trip becomes 30+ hours.
Your driver-guide picks you up at your hotel or any address in Tbilisi. Departure time is agreed at booking to suit your pace — an earlier start gives more time in Sighnaghi and softer light for photos.
A comfortable private car for your group only, a driver-guide, photo stops along the route (as time allows), plus booking coordination, help shaping the day and support until the booking is confirmed.
Meals, drinks and personal expenses — lunch at a Kakhetian restaurant is paid at the venue. Wine tasting is an optional add-on on request; activities (ATV, buggy, horse riding, paragliding, etc.) are booked and paid separately. Any entrance fees, if required, are confirmed at booking.
649 GEL per car for 1–2 people and 799 GEL for 3–4 people; the optional second day in Kakheti is +499 GEL. A deposit secures the date (usually 150–450 GEL for tours — the exact amount is confirmed by the manager for your tour and dates); the balance is paid in cash on the tour day — to your driver or at Café Bar PILOT, depending on where the tour starts.
Once the details are agreed you receive a secure Bank of Georgia payment link for the deposit — card, Apple Pay, Google Pay and bank transfer are accepted. The balance is paid in cash on the tour day — to your driver or at Café Bar PILOT, depending on where the tour starts; cash in GEL is also handy for lunch, tasting and souvenirs.
It’s a private tour for 1–4 people — your group only, in a comfortable car with a driver-guide. Tours are operated by SkyAtlantida’s licensed partner drivers; for groups of more than four, message us — the format is confirmed at booking.
Yes — St Nino’s Monastery at Bodbe is a few kilometres from Sighnaghi and can be added to the day when we agree the plan. It’s an active convent: women need a headscarf and covered shoulders and knees, men should wear trousers rather than shorts; scarves and wrap skirts are usually available at the entrance. Entry is free; photography inside is restricted during services.
On request we arrange a tasting at a local winery: typically several wines, including traditional qvevri wine, a short story of the estate and light snacks. The price depends on the winery and is confirmed at booking; your driver stays behind the wheel, so you can taste freely.
The tour runs year-round. Autumn (grape harvest) and spring are the prettiest, summer is hot in the valley, and winter is quiet with few visitors but fog or snow can slow the drive — the day’s details are agreed for the weather on your date.
Comfortable shoes for cobblestones and the town wall, water, sunscreen and a hat in summer, a light jacket in the shoulder seasons — Sighnaghi sits on a hill and can be breezy. For Bodbe, a scarf and modest clothing, plus some cash in GEL for lunch, tasting and souvenirs.
Yes — children travel with their parents; the relaxed pace, short drives and old-town walks suit families well. Request a child seat when booking.
Russian or English — tell us your preferred language when booking.
Yes — this isn’t a fixed excursion. The format adapts to your group: relaxed, more packed or romantic; if you like, add a second day with an overnight stay, sunrise over the valley and Telavi (+499 GEL). The plan is agreed in advance.
Yes — SkyAtlantida activities can be arranged separately: ATV and buggy in Gudauri, horse riding, paragliding with a certified instructor, rafting, skydiving (June–August), mountain hiking (May–October) and winter activities. They are booked and paid separately and depend on season and availability.
If the tour is cancelled for unsafe weather or operational reasons, we reschedule free of charge; if that isn’t possible, the deposit is refunded minus payment-system fees (5–10 business days). If a guest cancels after confirmation, doesn’t show up, or arrives so late the tour can’t start, the deposit is non-refundable — see the refund policy for details.
Message us on WhatsApp with the tour name, preferred date, number of guests and your name. We reply daily 09:00–21:00 (GMT+4), usually within ~30 minutes, confirm availability and send the deposit link.
Yes — ideally well ahead, especially for popular dates and weekends, so we can calmly agree the details and, if you like, the tasting or the second day.
The main Kakheti highway is a smooth road with hardly any hairpins; only the final climb up to Sighnaghi winds through the forest. If you’re sensitive, sit in front and bring motion-sickness tablets — the driver stops on request.
The deposit and balance are paid via Bank of Georgia (card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, transfer). Cash in GEL is handy for lunch, tasting, the market and small purchases — not every small venue takes cards.
Yes — Sighnaghi is called the City of Love for a reason. The romantic format with a gentle pace, the best viewpoints and unhurried time in the old town is one of the most popular ways to do this route.
