The town is called either Sighnaghi or Signagi – take your pick. But it’s also known as the City of Love. That’s because you can get married here 24/7. A Georgian Las Vegas, you ask? Not even close! The town is actually super charming and peaceful. And I haven’t spotted a single bride. But I’m here on wet, windy winter days – that probably doesn’t add to romance.
You won’t have to look far: wine is everywhere in Tbilisi, Georgia. Wine-tasting signs adorn many bars and restaurants. All kinds of wine tours are available, and it seems like every Georgian family makes their own wine. Georgia has the longest wine-making history in the world. So you pretty much HAVE to embrace it here. Let me help you get started.
Georgian food is absolutely delicious, but good luck making sense of those menus without a little help. While playing it safe and ordering a hamburger is tempting, that would be a real shame. Let me introduce you to some typical Georgian dishes so you can confidently order them during your trip. Enjoy your meal!
