About this tour
This is a short planning call for a day of wine visits around Sighnaghi and the wider Alazani valley. We talk through what you already enjoy drinking and how much time you have, then match that to a family cellar or a larger estate nearby. It ends with a short list of names and a rough order to visit them in.
I ask a few questions about your taste and pace before we look at the map together, and you can bring up anything specific you want included. I send the finished list right after the call.
It suits anyone building their own route through Kakheti's wine country rather than joining a set group. It also works well booked before one of the vineyard sessions on video.
Included
- A 30-minute call with a local guide
- Honest tips on where to eat, stay and what to skip
- A short follow-up note with every place mentioned
Not included
- Bookings made on your behalf
- Phone or data charges from your provider
Itinerary
-
Hello, and what you want to know 5 min
The guide calls you and asks what you are after: planning Sighnaghi, recommendations, or just questions.
-
Matching cellars to your taste 17 min
I ask what kind of wine you already enjoy and how much time you have, then match you to a family cellar or a larger estate near Sighnaghi accordingly.
-
Your questions 5 min
Ask anything that is still on your mind, there is no fixed script.
-
A written note after the call 3 min
You get a short follow-up message with everything mentioned, so you do not have to remember it all.
Good to know
- A stable phone or internet connection, whichever the guide uses to reach you.
- No app to install. You answer when the guide calls, or join a video call if you would rather.
- Times are shown in Tbilisi time, so check the time where you are before you book.
- The call is not recorded. Keep your own note of anything you want to remember, or wait for the follow-up message.
- Have your questions ready, though there is time to think of more as you go.
Questions about this tour
What will the call cover?
The guide talks you through Sighnaghi: where to go, what to eat, and answers to whatever you ask.
What happens if the call drops?
The guide will try you again straight away.
Can I ask the guide questions during the session, or is it a fixed script?
Anything, any time. Sessions leave room for your own questions throughout, not just at the end.
Do I need to buy or cook anything?
No. This is a conversation: the guide describes the dishes and where to find them, so you can try them yourself whenever suits you.

How reviews work
Only travellers who booked and paid through Locals Guide and whose tour took place can leave a review, within 60 days of the tour. Every review is marked "Verified booking". We check reviews before they appear and publish positive and negative ones alike; we remove only reviews that break our rules (insults, personal data, unrelated content). Guides cannot pay for, edit or hide reviews, and ratings are the plain average of all published reviews.
