Five days is the ideal length for a first visit to Georgia: enough time to go deep into the mountains, explore the wine country, and still have unhurried evenings in Tbilisi. This itinerary covers the country's greatest hits without feeling rushed.

Day-by-Day Programme

Day 1 — Tbilisi Old Town

We begin with Tbilisi: the sulphur baths of Abanotubani, the wooden-balconied streets of the old town, Narikala Fortress, the modern Bridge of Peace, and the Dezertir Market where Georgia's extraordinary food culture — spices, churchkhela, tklapi, fresh herbs, dozens of cheeses — comes alive in one colourful bazaar.

Day 2 — Mtskheta and Gori

Mtskheta, the ancient capital of Georgia and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, contains two extraordinary churches: Jvari Monastery on a cliff above the confluence of two rivers (visible from the highway, used as a location in the poem by Lermontov), and Svetitskhoveli Cathedral, the most sacred church in Georgia, built in the 11th century over the burial site of Christ's robe. Then we continue to Gori for the Stalin Museum.

Day 3 — Kazbegi

North along the Georgian Military Highway through the Dariali Gorge to Kazbegi and the iconic Gergeti Trinity Church at 2170m, with Mount Kazbek towering behind it. The drive alone is extraordinary — the highway climbs through increasingly dramatic mountain scenery, past the Gudauri ski resort and the Jvari Pass at 2379m.

Day 4 — Kakheti Wine Region

Kakheti produces 70% of Georgia's wine. We visit Sighnaghi, a hilltop town completely enclosed by medieval walls with Alazani Valley views. Then a family winery for qvevri wine tasting — the amber wine fermented in clay buried underground, a method UNESCO recognized as part of humanity's intangible heritage.

Day 5 — Return and Farewell

Final morning in Tbilisi, time for the Narikala area, souvenir shopping in Rustaveli Avenue, or a final Georgian breakfast of khachapuri and fresh matsoni yoghurt before departure.
