How it works
Unofficial wine tour operators approach tourists near Metekhi Church and around Shardeni Street, offering Kakheti wine region tours at premium prices (80-120 dollars per person), then deliver substandard experiences—cheap wine, unsafe vehicles, skipped promised vineyards, or aggressive upselling of expensive bottles. Many do not have proper licensing or insurance.
