🏺 Pearls of Kartli: A Journey into the Cradle of History and Rare Wines

Have you ever tasted history? We invite you to the Shida Kartli region—the heart of Georgia, where stones remember ancient kings, and glasses sparkle with wine once served at royal courts.

This is not just a tour; it is an immersion into the “intellectual” side of Georgia.

✨ What Awaits You on This Tour:

• Samtavisi: The Geometry of Perfection.We begin with an 11th-century cathedral considered the gold standard of Georgian architecture. You will see the legendary stone carvings that hundreds of craftsmen have tried to replicate, yet none have ever surpassed.
• Uplistsikhe: The Fortress of God.Walk through the streets carved into sandstone cliffs over 3,000 years ago. We will explore throne rooms and pagan temples where time stood still long before modern capitals even existed.
• Ateni Sioni: The Spirit of Eternity.Tucked away in a quiet gorge awaits a 7th-century church. Its frescoes and ancient inscriptions are living letters from the past, beautifully preserved among the rugged cliffs.
• Visiting Nika Vacheishvili: Wine as an Art Form.The grand finale of our day takes place in one of the most stunning maranis (wine cellars) in the country. Here, in the mountains of Ateni, the former Minister of Culture and true aesthetic visionary, Nika Vacheishvili, is reviving forgotten terraced vineyards. You will taste the rare, “crystal-clear” Atenuri wine, which cannot be bought in regular stores.

💎 Why Choose This Journey with Us?

• An Unhurried Pace: We value the aftertaste of our experiences, so we never rush through locations.
