6 Days – Full Circle

Explore Uplistsikhe, one of the oldest settlements in Georgia, a whole town carved into a riverside cliff. Wander halls, a theatre, wine cellars and pagan altars cut from the rock, spanning three thousand years of history in a single hillside.

Journey along the Georgian Military Highway into the heart of the Caucasus. Behold the Gergeti Trinity Church, dramatically set against the glaciers of Mount Kazbek. Whether by foot or 4x4, the alpine landscapes of Kazbegi will leave you speechless.

Walk the cobbled lanes and intact ramparts of Sighnaghi, a walled hill town overlooking the vast Alazani Valley. Visit the nearby Bodbe Convent, resting place of St. Nino, and taste the region’s amber wines at a family cellar.

Immerse yourself in the soul of Georgian winemaking. Visit the romantic “City of Love,” Sighnaghi, overlooking the Alazani Valley, and experience the hospitality of a traditional supra feast. Taste unique wines aged in clay qvevri, a tradition 8,000 years in the making.

Stand before Vardzia, the astonishing 12th-century cave city of Queen Tamar, carved across thirteen levels into a mountainside. Explore tunnels, chapels and frescoes that once sheltered a whole community on the road through Georgia’s deep south.
