There is possibility to do tasting of Usakhelouri wine, this is an unique wine, very limited in production and many wineries around Georgia do not offer Usakhelouri in wine tasting options.

 

After wine tasting we drive up to Mravaldzali  (if weather permits) and have tour around. Village Mravaldzali is 1840 meters above the sea level. The green lake between the forested mountains is a very beautiful sight. The lake is swampy and not suitable for swimming, its shores are covered with aquatic plants.
