Program Details

We’re based in Sagarejo, just a short drive from capital Tbilisi in the east of Georgia. Whether you’re a hobbyist, a professional tradesperson, or just keen to learn, we’d love your help.

We’re currently working on:
• Renovating parts of our old house (inside and out)
• Building shelves and storage space for garage and wine cellar fitout
• Building a garden shelter
• Constructing a staircase and basic structures around the garden
• Fixing fences and gates
• Light welding, plumbing, and basic electrics
• Organising the workspace
• Vineyard maintenance

We work hard, but never in a rush — this is a great space for people who like to work independently or collaborate on small jobs with a sense of purpose. We’ll supply the materials, tools, and support — and welcome your input if you have ideas or experience to share.

When you're not working, the region offers everything from dramatic landscapes to wine tastings, hikes, and quiet nights under the stars.

Let us know what kind of building or DIY experience you bring — or if you’re just eager to learn — and we’ll match the projects to your skills.

🏡 What We Offer
Comfortable accommodation (private room, shared room or camper van space)
Access to Wi-Fi, kitchen, and communal spaces
Shared home-cooked meals (we love to cook together!) 🍽️
Cultural immersion in Georgian and International food, culture, and traditions
A peaceful base to explore Kakheti and beyond

If you enjoy collaborative work, nature, and learning by doing, we'd love to have you join us in our little corner of Kakheti.

Come soak up the views, work with your hands, and be part of something special in Georgia’s wine region. 🌄💚
