We study the supergravity duals of supersymmetric theories arising in the world-volume of D6-branes wrapping holomorphic two-cycles and special lagrangian three-cycles within the framework of eight-dimensional gauged supergravity. When uplifted to 11d, our solutions represent M-theory on the background of, respectively, the small resolution of the conifold and a manifold with G2 holonomy. We further discuss on the flop and other possible geometrical transitions and its implications.
