SIGNAGI Georgia 🇬🇪 - The City of Love & crazy dogs!

We took a trip to the town of Signagi in Georgia's Kakheti wine region. The city has recently been renovated and rebranded as the City of Love.

The origins of wine date back to the caucasus region. Wine was first produced in Georgia and Armenia, many thousands of years ago. Georgian's are proud of their wine heritage.

Signagi is a pretty little town but unfortunately it is overrun by crazy dogs. One of these dogs decided to bite my wife, she has since been for a course of rabies vaccinations. It's a shame that the town council don't do something about the dogs.

We also visited the Bodbe Monastery, which is about 2 km outside of Signagi. You can walk here or take a taxi. It's the final resting place of St. Nino, the woman who brought christianity to Georgia. Nowadays, it operates as a convent. The grounds are beautifully well kept.

This region is definitely worth a visit. Just watch out for the dogs!

As a Sighnaghi resident, I’d like to say how sorry I am that Katya was bitten. The aggressive nature of the local dogs is another unfortunate side effect of the pandemic. When there were plenty of tourists, the street dogs had more scraps and were generally happier. They’ve become more wild now, and you have unfortunately experienced the result. There was a city council meeting to address the issue recently. And they have been working hard to at least immunize street dogs against rabies. People from villages have been known to drop off unwanted puppies in town in hopes that they can scrape out a life for themselves. Also, many of the dogs in the street have homes, but their owners allow them to roam. In short, the dog situation here is complex and really problematic. I would really like to see a local shelter that can spay and neuter as well as immunize. But with the human population also struggling with increasing poverty, this issue often has to be pushed back.

It’s really too bad you didn’t have a clear day. Best wishes.

There is a big problem because dogs are aggressive in places a bit far from the city or at certain times. I have been attacked by bike and walking several times by territorial groups of dogs.
