Sighnaghi is a small town in eastern Georgia's Kakheti region. It lies within Georgia's wine-producing area, where grapes have been grown for wine for 7000 years. Its narrow, cobbled streets are lined with pastel-coloured houses with fancy wooden balconies. On a steep hill, the village overlooks the wide Alazani Valley with the snow-topped Caucasus Mountains in the distance. The small but important village has 18th century fortifications and is just 2kms from the Bodbe Monastery. It is pleasant to walk through the pretty streets, gazing at the views before settling in to some tasty traditional Georgian fare and a glass of robust local red wine.
