You can't call it a trip; there was no guide. But we were satisfied: two wines and chacha to taste, cheese and bread, a quick churchkhela, and a delicious meal at the restaurant (the doner kebab wasn't bad either). It was well worth the money and convenient (right on the road from Sighnaghi to Telavi).
