Tips

If you have extra time, consider extending your stay with a day trip to the Black Sea resort of Batumi or a hike in the stunning Svaneti region. For a shorter itinerary, condense the Kakheti wine tour into a half‑day visit and replace the mountain day with a leisurely exploration of Tbilisi’s art galleries and cafés.
