7-Day Cultural Heritage Tour of Georgia
Georgia is one of the world’s oldest Christian nations, converted in 337 AD — long before much of Europe. Its sacred sites are not museum pieces. They are living places of worship, built into cliff faces, perched above glaciers, and hidden in forested valleys where monks have prayed for over a thousand years.
This 7-day journey takes you through the most spiritually significant corners of the country — from the Holy City of Mtskheta, where the Robe of Christ is said to rest, to Gergeti Trinity Church standing alone at 2,170 metres beneath Mount Kazbek. You will visit the burial site of St. Nino, the woman who brought Christianity to Georgia, walk the ancient Ikalto Academy where wine and philosophy were taught side by side, and end in Tbilisi among the oldest surviving churches in the Caucasus.
This is not a sightseeing checklist. It is a journey into a living faith.

We continue to Samtavro Monastery, where Georgia’s first Christian monarchs are buried, and close the day at Samtavisi, an 11th-century cathedral that pioneered a new era in Georgian architecture:

We had a great time with Zaza where we learnt about Georgian wine history and tried some traditional qveri wines. We bottled our favourite amber wine and finished the visit with a trinity of shots 😅. Gaumarjos!

The trip to Georgia was truly an amazing and unforgettable experience. The country impressed with its beautiful landscapes, rich culture, and very warm hospitality. A highlight of the journey was visiting the Kakheti region and the winery “Wine Trails” in Ikalto, where it was possible to enjoy excellent Georgian wine, stunning views, and an authentic atmosphere. The wine tasting was especially interesting and helped to better understand Georgia’s ancient winemaking traditions.
I would also like to express special thanks to our guide Zaza. Zaza was very knowledgeable, kind, and attentive, always ready to help and share interesting information about Georgian culture and history. Thanks to Zaza, the trip was not only enjoyable but also very informative.
Thank you, Zaza, for the care, professionalism, and positive attitude! This trip will remain a wonderful memory, and I would highly recommend it to others.
Kisses to Misha and Nata🫶🏻

Небольшая семейная винодельня, где делают чачу и вино, по старинной грузинской традиции — в квеври, глиняных сосудах, зарытых в землю.
Мы приехали без записи, и, хотя нас никто не ждал, хозяева приняли невероятно душевно: всё показали, рассказали, угостили и накормили, будто старых друзей.
Два добрых, открытых человека поделились историей своего дела, рассказали о жизни в селе и о том, как менялись отношения между Россией и Грузией. Мы попробовали пять видов домашней чачи, купили их вино и даже сами укупоривали бутылки, закрывая их пробками. 🍷
Место, где всё делается с любовью — от первой капли вина до последнего тоста. ❤️

We had such a fantastic wine tasting experience at Wine Trails! Zaza is so warm and welcoming. We arrived without a reservation and he was happy to welcome us onto the winery and give us a tour! He explained the whole winemaking process to us and offered us some delicious wines and cha cha to taste! He sent us home with parting gifts as well. Zaza has a real love for his craft and a love of sharing it with others, which made this experience so unique and intimate . I highly recommend that anyone in the area visit Wine Trails Winery!
