Take a leisurely stroll through the wine town of Sighnaghi, where every bite is a whiff of Georgian sunshine.
A stay in Sighnaghi is a must. Surrounded by vineyards, this wine-producing town is filled with a subtle, sweet aroma. Stroll along the cobblestone streets and savor the leisurely atmosphere beneath the Caucasus Mountains. The ultimate surprise is discovering delicious wine ice cream!
🏨 Recommended Accommodation: Guest House Wine
Located at D. Agmashenebeli Street 6, this guesthouse is incredibly cozy, and the owner enthusiastically shares local wine culture. The South Caucasus-style wooden décor is truly captivating, and the rooftop overlooks the vineyards, creating a breathtaking sunset that resembles a painting.
📍 Must-See:
🔸Sighnaghi City Walls
Over 200 years old, these fortifications surrounding the old city offer a 360-degree view of the town and the snow-capped mountains beyond. We recommend visiting the city in the evening, when the sunset paints the wine-red rooftops even more captivating.
🍽️ Food Experience:
▫️Art Cafe Qedeli | Baratashvili St. 15
This art cafe hides the best red wine ice cream in the city! The owner uses his homemade Saperavi wine to make the ice cream, which is rich yet not overpowering. They also give a small gift as a souvenir before leaving.
✨Tips:
1️⃣ The Old Town is perfect for photo ops in the early morning, when the sunlight filtering through the grape vines onto the cobblestone streets creates a truly romantic scene.
2️⃣ Come in October to witness the grape harvest, with wineries offering tastings.
3️⃣ Remember to bring a scarf; the evening breeze in the Caucasus Mountains can be a bit chilly.

A must-visit for Georgian travel: Sighnaghi The town is very beautiful against the backdrop of the snow-capped mountains in the distance It is the birthplace of red wine and is also known as the town of love Transportation You can take a bus to Sighnaghi, carpool, drive yourself, or take a day trip Take a bus from Tbilisi Navtlugiintercity bus terminal to Sighnaghi, the ticket is 10 lari and the journey takes 2 hours (the station is near the exit of Tbilisi Samgori subway station), and the latest departure time for the return bus is 18:00 (if the weather is good, it is recommended to watch the sunset before returning) A day trip is 50 lari/person, with a guide to explain, and will take you to visit the bakery and shopping shops, and stop at the bodbe monastery for a tour, which is quite boring, and the stay in Sighnaghi is less than 1 hour, so it is not recommended to join the tour 🍷Food Cafe Medea, red wine ice cream 7 lari each, the taste is okay, you can try it Okro's Wine Restaurant & Cellar restaurant, terrace seats overlooking the whole town, the products are good, we ate there 3 times, and there is also a red wine package to taste several wines🍷 (this restaurant only accepts cash💴) Avoid restaurant: Restaurant Nikala, every dish is so bad! And the service is super bad! Accommodation We stayed at Guest House Loza, a guesthouse, 60 lari/night for a triple room, with a good location near the arch, a small yard, and a kitchen where you can cook. The first floor is a souvenir shop, and the landlord also asked us to wear souvenir hats to help us take pictures Tickets, guesthouses and some restaurants only accept cash, supermarkets and some restaurants accept credit cards Most of the residents in the town do not speak English, ordinary English + gestures + translation software is enough There are many cats and dogs in the town and they are very friendly, but direct contact is not recommended, just in case! The town is not big, half a day is enough, but the snow-capped mountains and churches at sunset and the town after dark are super beautiful, if you have enough time, I recommend you to take a look
I took a leisurely walk around the town of Sighnaghi. It took two hours to finish the tour without any pressure. The weather was average, so I just walked around. The red wine ice cream was delicious, and it was quite comfortable to sit in Cafe Medea and enjoy the scenery.
