A compact four‑day loop from Tbilisi that pairs Old Town walking and ancient monasteries with a high‑mountain drive to Kazbegi and wine cellars in Kakheti. Expect short hikes, mountain panoramas and guided tastings.

You step out of the air‑conditioned van onto a sun-warmed square and the Kura River seems to dare you to cross: on the opposite bank Sameba Cathedral rises like a modern landmark; narrow lanes of Old Town curl away under wooden balconies. The city’s stone and steam — sulphur baths, cobbled alleys, glass bridges — set the tone for four days that move quickly from urban streets to high mountain air.

The route links Georgia’s ancient core — Mtskheta was the early kingdom’s capital and many churches date to the 6th–11th centuries; the Military Highway has long been the conduit between Tbilisi and the high Caucasus.
Conservation
Respect fragile archaeological sites like Uplistsikhe by staying on marked paths; support local wineries that use traditional qvevri methods and small‑scale viticulture to limit landscape impact.

Bring a printed and mobile ticket
Some museums and wine cellars check paper or mobile tickets — keep both accessible during transfers and visits.
Wear sturdy footwear
Cobblestones in Tbilisi and the serpentine trail to Gergeti require grippy shoes with ankle support for comfort and safety.
Hydrate and acclimatize
Altitude near Stepantsminda (≈2,170 m) can make exertion feel harder — drink water and take the uphill pace slowly.

Popular Kakheti wineries and the Khareba tunnel can fill up; book tastings to guarantee entry and seating.
