Sighnaghi

Affectionately known as “The City of Love,” Sighnaghi lives up to its name in every way. Couples can get married here at any hour, and its romantic charm is forever linked to the legendary story of Georgian artist Niko Pirosmani, who famously covered the streets with flowers for the woman he loved — a tale immortalized in the song “Million Scarlet Roses.” Strolling through Sighnaghi feels like stepping into a quaint Italian village, with its narrow cobbled streets, colorful balconies, and terracotta rooftops. You’ll discover the longest defensive wall in Europe, still wrapping protectively around the town, and enjoy sweeping views of the Alazani Valley, Georgia’s famed wine region. Top it all off with a generous Georgian lunch, full of local flavors and Kakhetian hospitality — a delicious way to experience the heart and soul of this enchanting place.

Enjoy a delicious lunch in one of Sighnaghi’s most picturesque spots — a charming balcony restaurant with breathtaking views over the Alazani Valley. Savor a variety of traditional Georgian and regional Kakhetian dishes, prepared with local ingredients and warm hospitality. As part of the experience, enjoy a complimentary tasting of local wine and chacha, made from unique regional grape varieties. The meal is hosted at the cozy and authentic Sighnaghis Mamuli restaurant, where stunning scenery meets the rich flavors of Georgian cuisine — a perfect pause in the City of Love.
