Itinerary

Tbilisi - Kakheti - Gori Tour

1

Day 1 - Arrival

  • Today is kept simple for arrival. After meeting at the airport or in the city, the route continues to Tbilisi for hotel check-in and rest before the sightseeing days begin.
2

Day 2 - Tbilisi

  • Today we explore the historical heart of Tbilisi. Sameba Cathedral shows the modern spiritual scale of the city, while Metekhi stands above the Mtkvari River and recalls the old royal district. We continue toward the Bridge of Peace, Rike Park, the cable car, Narikala Fortress, and the Mother of Georgia monument. In Abanotubani, the sulfur-bath district, the story returns to the warm springs connected with the 5th-century founding legend of Tbilisi.

Day 3 - Kakheti and Telavi

  • This Kakheti day continues deeper into the wine country. Along with Signagi, Bodbe, family tastings, churchkhela, and bread baking, the route reaches Telavi and the Tsinandali area. Tsinandali is connected with the Chavchavadze family and the development of Georgian estate wine culture, so the day is not only about tasting wine, but also about the families, villages, and traditions behind it.

Day 4 - Tsinandali, Zhinvali, Ananuri, Gudauri

  • This Kakheti day continues deeper into the wine country. Along with Signagi, Bodbe, family tastings, churchkhela, and bread baking, the route reaches Telavi and the Tsinandali area. Tsinandali is connected with the Chavchavadze family and the development of Georgian estate wine culture, so the day is not only about tasting wine, but also about the families, villages, and traditions behind it.
  • The road to Kazbegi follows the historic Georgian Military Road through changing mountain landscapes. Zhinvali Reservoir gives the first wide view of water and mountains. Ananuri Fortress, a 16th-18th-century complex on the Aragvi River, shows how military, religious, and local power were connected on this route. After Gudauri and the high Jvari Pass area, the road reaches Stepantsminda, the mountain town below Mount Kazbek.

Day 5 - Kazbegi

  • Gergeti Trinity Church is the symbol that makes Kazbegi unforgettable, but the church itself matters as much as the view. Built in the 14th century at about 2,200 meters, it is surrounded by a defensive wall and has a hidden upper level connected with protection during invasions. The church was also connected with the safeguarding of sacred objects, including Saint Nino's cross. After the mountain stops, the route returns to Tbilisi along the Georgian Military Highway.

Day 6 - Mtskheta, Gori, and Uplistsikhe

  • Mtskheta is not only a beautiful old town; it was the capital of the eastern Georgian kingdom of Kartli from the 3rd century BC to the 5th century AD, and Christianity was proclaimed the official religion of Georgia here in 337. Svetitskhoveli Cathedral stands at the center of this story: the present cathedral is from the 11th century and is linked by tradition with Christ's robe. Jvari Monastery, built between 585 and 604, stands where Saint Nino's wooden cross was raised and became a model for later Georgian cross-domed churches.
  • Gori adds the 20th-century history of Joseph Stalin's birthplace and museum, while Uplistsikhe takes the route far deeper into ancient Georgia. This rock-cut town stands near the Mtkvari River and preserves streets, halls, living spaces, wine-related areas, and a church layer above older pagan and urban spaces. The stop is valuable because it shows Georgia before the medieval church monuments, when cave architecture, trade routes, and local power centers shaped the landscape.
