Subaru Forester

Hire a Subaru Forester in Georgia for the Kakheti Wine Route

Georgia has been making wine for thousands of years, and most of it seems to come from Kakheti. If your trip is about qvevri cellars, supra feasts and village markets rather than summits, the Subaru Forester from GIKO Travel LTD is a relaxed, capable way to taste your way east from Tbilisi. One friendly rule: the driver sticks to grape juice and churchkhela.

Why the Forester Suits Wine Country

Over the Gombori Pass and down the vineyard lanes

The scenic road over the Gombori Pass to Telavi climbs through forest with plenty of bends, and Subaru’s symmetrical all-wheel drive keeps things steady whether the asphalt is dry, wet after a spring shower or dusty on a farm track to a family marani. The smooth boxer engine and automatic gearbox make stop-and-go village driving effortless.

A boot for bottles

Large luggage space means the cases of Saperavi and Rkatsiteli you swore you would not buy still fit, along with suitcases for five passengers.

Comfort for Couples and Groups of Friends

Air conditioning for hot Alazani Valley afternoons, cruise control for the highway back to Tbilisi, Bluetooth and an audio system for Georgian polyphony on repeat, and a rear view camera for parking on Sighnaghi’s steep cobbled streets. Safety is covered by ABS, airbags and central locking.
