Beschrijving
Discover the ancient capital of Mtskheta, the wine region of Kakheti, and the natural beauty of Lagodekhi National Park on a day trip from Tbilisi.
Begin your day with a pickup in Tbilisi and head first to the ancient capital of Mtskheta, one of the oldest cities in Georgia and a UNESCO World Heritage site. Explore its historic streets and visit the iconic Svetitskhoveli Cathedral, a masterpiece of Georgian religious architecture and an important spiritual center.
Then continue up the hill to the stunning Jvari Monastery, offering breathtaking panoramic views over the confluence of the Aragvi and Mtkvari rivers and the entire town of Mtskheta. This viewpoint is one of the most photographed landscapes in Georgia and a perfect introduction to the country’s history and nature.
After visiting Mtskheta and Jvari, set off toward Kakheti, Georgia’s famous wine region, in a comfortable Mercedes Sprinter with a professional English-speaking guide who will accompany you throughout the day, sharing stories, history, and local insights.
Make your first Kakhetian stop in the village of Manavi for a traditional wine tasting. Continue to Badiauri, where you will take part in a Georgian bread baking masterclass and learn how traditional “shotis puri” is made in a clay oven.
Next, visit the beautiful Bodbe Monastery, surrounded by peaceful gardens and scenic views. Then head to Sighnaghi, the “City of Love,” with its charming streets, defensive wall, and panoramic views over the Alazani Valley and Caucasus Mountains.
Continue to Telavi, the cultural heart of Kakheti, and enjoy a local restaurant for lunch and relaxation. Later, visit a traditional Georgian marani (wine cellar) for another wine tasting experience and learn about ancient winemaking traditions.
Finally, explore the natural beauty of Lagodekhi National Park, known for waterfalls, forests, and untouched mountain landscapes.
After a full day of exploration, return to Tbilisi in the evening.
