This 7-day Georgia wine tour is designed for travelers who want to go beyond a few wine tastings and spend a full week exploring the history, regions, food and traditions behind Georgian wine.
The journey begins in Tbilisi, where you will discover the historic capital and enjoy your first introduction to local wine. From there, the itinerary travels east into Kakheti, Georgia’s best-known wine-producing region, where vineyards, traditional wineries, local food and historic towns form the heart of the experience.
During the tour, you will visit Badiauri, Bodbe, Sighnaghi, Telavi, Alaverdi and Tsinandali, combining wine experiences with traditional bread, religious heritage, countryside landscapes and the culture of the Alazani Valley.
An important part of the journey is learning about qvevri winemaking, one of Georgia’s most distinctive wine traditions. Qvevri are large clay vessels traditionally used for fermenting, ageing and storing wine, and the method remains closely connected with family and village wine culture across Georgia.
The itinerary is not limited to Kakheti. You will also visit Mtskheta and Uplistsikhe, giving the tour a wider historical context and showing how wine fits into Georgia’s broader cultural story.
Compared with a shorter wine itinerary, seven days provide more time for additional wineries, wine destinations and cultural sites. This makes the tour suitable for travelers who want to compare different wines and production styles rather than rushing between a small number of tastings.
By the end of the journey, Georgian wine will make more sense not only as something you taste, but as part of the country’s agriculture, cuisine, hospitality, family traditions and cultural identity.
Duration: 7 days / 6 nights
Start: Tbilisi International Airport / Tbilisi
Finish: Tbilisi International Airport
Tour style: Wine, cultural and gastronomic tour
Main wine region: Kakheti
Main destinations: Tbilisi, Badiauri, Bodbe, Sighnaghi, Telavi, Alaverdi, Tsinandali, Mtskheta and Uplistsikhe
Main experiences: Georgian wine tastings, winery visits, Kakheti vineyards, qvevri traditions, traditional food and historical sites
The main advantage of this itinerary is time.
A short Kakheti wine tour can introduce you to several wines and wineries, but a seven-day journey allows you to place those tastings in a much broader cultural context.
You begin with wine in Tbilisi, spend several days exploring Kakheti, visit historic places connected with Georgian culture and continue with additional wine experiences later in the itinerary.
This makes it possible to compare different types of wineries and wines while also learning about the places where Georgian wine developed.
The tour is particularly suitable for travelers interested in Georgian wine, local grape varieties, qvevri traditions, regional cuisine and wine-related travel, but who also want important cultural sites included in their itinerary.
Rather than repeating the same winery experience every day, the program combines wine with villages, monasteries, historic towns, archaeological heritage and regional food.
Meeting point
Route: Tbilisi International Airport → Tbilisi
Program: Arrival, Tbilisi sightseeing and first Georgian wine tasting
Your 7-day Georgia wine tour begins with arrival at Tbilisi International Airport and transfer to the city.
After settling in, start discovering Tbilisi, Georgia’s capital and an ideal place to begin understanding the country before traveling into its wine-producing regions.
Explore the historic part of the city with your guide, where traditional architecture, narrow streets and centuries of cultural influences provide an introduction to Georgian history and everyday life.
The first wine experience of the journey takes place at a local wine venue, where you will taste Georgian wine and begin learning about the grape varieties and winemaking traditions that will appear throughout the itinerary.
This first tasting serves as an introduction before the journey continues into the
vineyards and wineries of eastern Georgia.
Route: Tbilisi → Badiauri → Bodbe → Sighnaghi → Kakheti
Program: Traditional bakery, cultural heritage and Kakheti wine
Leave Tbilisi and travel east toward Kakheti, the central wine region of this seven-day itinerary.
Your first stop is Badiauri, where you will visit a traditional bakery and see one of Georgia’s everyday food traditions before continuing deeper into the wine country.
Travel next to Bodbe Monastery, an important religious site associated with St. Nino and overlooking the landscapes of eastern Georgia.
Continue to Sighnaghi, a small historic town set above the Alazani Valley. Its location makes it a natural stop for travelers exploring the vineyards and wine culture of Kakheti.
During the day, visit wine locations and begin tasting wines produced in the region while learning more about the role of Kakheti in Georgian viticulture.
The combination of traditional food, historic sites, vineyards and wine introduces the region as more than simply a collection of wineries.
Route: Kakheti → Telavi → Alaverdi → Tsinandali
Program: Wine region, historical heritage and Georgian wine tastings
The third day explores the area around Telavi, one of the main centers of Kakheti and a natural base for discovering the Alazani Valley.
Continue toward Alaverdi, where Georgia’s religious heritage and its long relationship with viticulture meet in the same landscape.
The journey then continues to Tsinandali, historically associated with the Chavchavadze family and an important name in the development of Georgian wine culture.
Throughout the day, winery visits and tastings give you further opportunities to compare wines and learn about different approaches to Georgian winemaking.
This is also a useful day for understanding how traditional qvevri wine and more modern Georgian winemaking exist alongside one another.
Program: Additional wineries, wine traditions and cultural experiences
The fourth day is dedicated to continuing the wine journey through additional winery and cultural experiences included in the tour program.
After several days in Georgia’s principal wine region, you will already have encountered different wines, landscapes and historical settings. Today provides more time to deepen that experience rather than moving quickly on to the next destination.
Continue tasting Georgian wines and learning how individual producers approach grape varieties, fermentation, ageing and local wine traditions.
The cultural stops included in the day provide additional context for understanding wine as part of Georgian history and everyday life rather than simply as a commercial product.
This additional day is one of the main differences between a 7-day Georgia wine tour and a shorter wine itinerary.
Route: Mtskheta → Uplistsikhe
Program: Ancient Georgian history and cultural landmarks
Today the focus expands beyond vineyards and wine cellars to explore important parts of Georgia’s historical heritage.
Visit Mtskheta, the ancient capital of Georgia and one of the country’s most important cultural and religious centers.
The journey then continues toward Uplistsikhe, an ancient settlement carved into rock near Gori. Its surviving spaces include streets, religious structures, halls and areas historically connected with wine production and storage.
Visiting these sites adds an important cultural dimension to the wine itinerary. Georgian wine developed within a society shaped by ancient settlements, agriculture, religion and long-established hospitality traditions.
After several winery-focused days, this cultural section provides a broader understanding of the country behind the wine.
Program: New wine destinations, wineries and additional tastings
The final full day of the tour returns to the main theme of the journey — Georgian wine.
Explore additional wine destinations and continue visiting wineries, giving you more opportunities to compare the wines and production methods encountered throughout the week.
By this stage of the journey, you will already have tasted wine in Tbilisi and explored the main wine destinations of Kakheti. The additional program allows you to broaden that experience and discover more of Georgia’s winemaking landscape.
Use the final wine-focused day to ask questions, compare traditional and contemporary approaches and better understand how producers interpret Georgia’s long wine heritage in different ways.
The specific wine region and winery stops for this day should be listed in the final operating itinerary once confirmed.
Route: Tbilisi → Tbilisi International Airport
Program: Departure transfer
Your 7-day Georgia wine tour concludes with a transfer to Tbilisi International Airport.
During the week, you will have experienced Georgian wine through Tbilisi, Kakheti, wineries, tastings, traditional food, historic towns, qvevri culture and some of the country’s most important cultural sites.
The aim of the journey is not simply to taste more wines, but to leave Georgia with a clearer understanding of why wine remains such an important part of the country’s history, agriculture, hospitality and daily life.
The seven-day itinerary provides more time for wineries, tastings and cultural sites. In addition to Tbilisi and the main wine destinations of Kakheti, the program includes Mtskheta, Uplistsikhe and extra wine-focused days, allowing travelers to explore Georgian wine in greater depth.
The itinerary focuses on Georgian wine culture, including the traditional qvevri method. Qvevri are large clay vessels used for fermenting, ageing and storing wine and remain an important part of Georgia’s traditional winemaking culture.
Wine tastings and winery visits appear throughout the itinerary, but the current Excluded section lists food and beverages separately. The exact number of tastings and which tastings are included in the price should therefore be confirmed when booking.
