Travel story
Stone walls that speak across a millennium
In a village protected by mountains, the flow of time moves slowly
There are voiceless landscapes you can encounter only by walking
-
This itinerary is a 10-day circuit around Georgia's main cities and mountain regions.
Beginning in the capital Tbilisi, it tours the wine culture of the Kakheti region, the ancient villages of Svaneti, and the mountain scenery around Kazbegi.
A Japanese-speaking guide accompanies the entire journey, providing guidance and transportation support for historical buildings, villages, and natural landscapes.
Signature points
A wide-ranging route crossing from ancient cities to mountain regions
Starting from the capital Tbilisi, this itinerary travels from the eastern wine-producing Kakheti region to western Svaneti and then north to Kazbegi, allowing you to experience Georgia's geographical and cultural diversity.
Architecture and villages preserving a thousand years of history
Visit regions where Georgia's unique stone architecture and lifestyles remain, such as churches registered as UNESCO World Heritage sites and villages lined with medieval towers. The fact that these areas are not overly touristic is also an attraction.
Emphasis on experiences that connect with local life
Stays at homely local accommodations and multiple opportunities to experience home-cooked meals and locally produced wines are included. The program lets you directly feel the warmth of regional daily life, not just tourism.

Afterwards, we enjoy the panoramic views of the whole town and, through the ancient Narikala Fortress (4th century), find ourselves in the historical domed sulphur bath area—connected with the name of our city.
