You leave Tbilisi before dawn and the city thins behind you as the road threads into the Lesser Caucasus foothills. Two hours later the air changes—pine resin and cool shade take over—and you register at the park ranger station, map in hand, ready for a steady walk beneath tall pines.

You leave Tbilisi before dawn and the city thins behind you as the road threads into the Lesser Caucasus foothills. Two hours later the air changes—pine resin and cool shade take over—and you register at the park ranger station, map in hand, ready for a steady walk beneath tall pines.
The route is straightforward and well marked: a gradual uphill through shaded forest, mostly on compact dirt and root-strewn singletrack. The hike takes about 1.5–2 hours one way at an easy pace and finishes at a broad panoramic viewpoint that opens onto a patchwork of ridges and the valley where Borjomi town and its mineral springs sit.
Borjomi's forests are part of a protected national park created in the early 20th century; the region's mineral-rich geology helped build the spa town that made the area famous. After the viewpoint, the day shifts from trail to table—you're driven to a nearby family winery where wines are made in clay qvevri and poured alongside a traditional Georgian lunch.
Practical notes: the hike is low-impact but includes uneven roots and modest climbs—sturdy footwear and 1–2 liters of water are recommended. Registration at the ranger station is standard and helps park management; the tour includes an air-conditioned round-trip transfer from Tbilisi, guiding, lunch and wine. This pairing of accessible hiking and local winemaking gives a concise, culturally rich day in one of Georgia’s most scenic parks.
