The Samegrelo region is famous for its distinct cuisine, especially its rich sulguni-style cheeses and hearty wines made in small, often family-run cellars. This private day trip from Zugdidi gives you a flavorful introduction to the local traditions, with visits to cheese producers, rural vineyards, and hidden cafés where you can enjoy a full Megrelian spread.
This is an easy-paced ride ideal for food lovers, couples, and travelers who prefer taste over tourism. Our driver will guide you to spots that avoid the crowds but deliver on flavor and friendliness. Pickup available from any address in Georgia.
Start tasting Megrelian flavorWe’ll visit small-scale winemakers using both modern and traditional qvevri methods. Tastings include dry whites and bold reds, often served with fresh sulguni cheese, sometimes plain, sometimes smoked, braided, or served in khachapuri. You’ll also have a chance to meet makers and ask questions, translated by your driver when needed.
Our routes are short and scenic, mostly in the lowlands near Zugdidi. If you're interested in trying a full Megrelian lunch, we can stop at a guesthouse or café. If you'd prefer just a wine-and-snack format, that's easy too. This is your ride, your pace.
The trip takes 3 to 5 hours depending on how many stops you choose. Pricing starts at $95 per vehicle (up to 6 passengers). Wine and cheese tastings are paid on-site (typically $7–12 per person depending on the cellar).
