The road out of Tbilisi lifts and unfolds: vineyards flatten into the Alazani valley, then the Greater Caucasus rise like a sudden, stony wall. On this private four-day loop, travelers move between low-lying wine terraces and high, wind-swept ridgelines — breakfast in family-run wineries, afternoon views from a 14th-century mountaintop church, evenings spent learning to fold dough for khinkali.
