Cultural insights, crafting and good food - Our whole family, including two teenagers (15 and 13), thoroughly enjoyed this tour. We visited the wool factory and craft workshop for an insight into how the local wool is processed and used, and then went on to create our own felt masterpieces. The tour ended with the most delicious homemade lunch at the Veli guesthouse. A very special and highly recommended experience!

An interesting trip to see wool processing and crafts in Georgia - We spent a fantastic couple of hours in Zemo Alvani. We were welcomed into the home with a coffee, and then taken on a tour of the wool processing factory. Our guide spoke excellent English and gave us a detailed account of how the Tusheti sheep's fleeces are processed. We met an amazing lady who was hand stitching a traditional Tushetan shepherd's coat. We were then taken to the Cultural Centre where we met another lady who showed us the crafts that were made using the sheep's fleeces. I even had a go at needle felting. We then returned to the guides' home where we enjoyed the most fabulous authentic Georgian food and wine. Definitely worth the money. A great day out.
