Today we drove to our next destination, Telavi. We stopped along the way to see a few sights.
First up was a short tour of the Khareba winery tunnels. The winery has approximately 8 km of tunnels that they use to store and age the wine they produce. The tour only takes you in a small section of tunnel, but it's interesting and a welcome escape from the heat.

Our next stop was the Nekresi Monastery. We sweated our way up the 1.5 km steep road to the monastery in the heat. A couple stray dogs adopted us for the hike up and back.
