What you can expect

Step into the birthplace of Georgia on an immersive storytelling journey through Mtskheta — the country’s ancient capital and spiritual heart. This is not just a sightseeing tour, but a carefully crafted cultural experience where history, religion, wine, and local life come together in one meaningful narrative.

Led by a passionate local storyteller-guide, you’ll explore UNESCO-listed landmarks, uncover legends of early Christianity, taste regional wines, and stroll through a traditional market — all tied together through Georgia’s identity as a land of faith, hospitality, and ancient traditions.

This experience is designed for travelers who want depth, authenticity, and connection — not crowds and rushed sightseeing.

Unique Story-Driven Itinerary

Stop 1: Jvari Monastery — The Birth of Christianity in Georgia
Begin your journey where Georgia officially embraced Christianity in the 4th century. Learn the powerful story of Saint Nino and how this hilltop church shaped Georgian culture, identity, and architecture. Enjoy panoramic views over the confluence of the Aragvi and Mtkvari rivers — one of the most iconic landscapes in the country.

Stop 2: Svetitskhoveli Cathedral — Georgia’s Spiritual Heart
Walk into one of Georgia’s most sacred places and hear the legends of Christ’s robe, royal coronations, and medieval kings. Your guide shares hidden symbolism carved into the stone and explains why this cathedral remains the emotional heart of the nation.

Stop 3: Local Market Walk — Taste Georgia Like a Local
Stroll through a neighborhood market where locals shop daily. Learn how Georgians choose herbs, spices, churchkhela, cheeses, and wines — and what each ingredient means in Georgian cuisine and family traditions.

Stop 4: Boutique Wine Tasting — Ancient Grapes, Modern Craft
Enjoy a guided tasting of regional Georgian wines, including Saperavi and local qvevri-style varieties. Learn about Georgia’s 8,000-year-old winemaking heritage and why wine plays such a central role in Georgian hospitality and religion.

Finale: Reflection & Viewpoint Moment
End the tour with a scenic viewpoint overlooking the old city — where your guide ties together the story of Georgia’s spiritual, royal, and cultural journey from ancient kingdom to modern nation.
