7-day itinerary
Georgia: Wine, Mountains & Culture
7 days through Tbilisi, Kakheti & the Caucasus
Georgia is one of Europe's last great undiscovered gems, where ancient Orthodox monasteries cling to dramatic Caucasus peaks and 8,000-year-old winemaking traditions live on in every village. From the cobblestoned charm of Tbilisi's old town to the sweeping vineyard valleys of Kakheti and the snow-capped horizons of Kazbegi, this seven-day journey delivers extraordinary depth at a fraction of the cost of Western Europe.
Morning: Arrive at Tbilisi International Airport, check into a guesthouse in the old town, and freshen up after your flight.
Afternoon: Stroll through the winding lanes of Abanotubani, cross the Peace Bridge, and explore Narikala Fortress for sweeping city views.
Evening: Enjoy your first Georgian feast at a local restaurant in the old town — try khinkali dumplings and a glass of Rkatsiteli white wine.
Morning: Visit the Anchiskhati Basilica, browse the Dry Bridge flea market for Soviet-era antiques and local art.
Afternoon: Head up to Mtatsminda Park by funicular for panoramic views, then explore the Georgian National Museum for cultural context.
Evening: Bar-hop along Fabrika's courtyard or Vera district for craft cocktails and live Georgian polyphonic music.
Morning: Take a shared marshrutka to Mtskheta (20 min), visit the UNESCO-listed Svetitskhoveli Cathedral and Jvari Monastery perched above the river confluence.
Afternoon: Continue to Gori to see the cave dwellings of Uplistsikhe, one of the oldest urban settlements in the Caucasus.

Morning: Take an early marshrutka to Sighnaghi, the romantic walled 'city of love' overlooking the Alazani Valley.
