Slow Kakheti and Kazbegi in 5 Days — Cellars, Monasteries and One Mountain

Five days at walking pace through Kakheti's cellars and monasteries, two nights at a wine estate near Telavi, then one night under Mount Kazbek.

• —Two consecutive nights at a working wine estate near Telavi instead of one rushed overnight
• —Alaverdi, Ikalto and Gremi monasteries covered without a single stop feeling hurried
• —A full night in walled Sighnaghi, with Bodbe Monastery and the Alazani valley view included
• —Kvareli adds the Soviet-era wine tunnel and Chavchavadze's house, skipped on most short Kakheti trips
• —One night in Stepantsminda leaves time for Gergeti Trinity Church by 4×4 rather than a same-day round trip
• —Private car and licensed driver throughout, no joining other groups or fixed bus schedules

• · The Georgian Military Highway can close above Gudauri in snow or after heavy rain; the Kazbegi night is scheduled with a backup plan on the itinerary, check road-status.gtour.ge before departure
• · Gergeti Trinity Church sits at 2,170m; bring a warm layer even in October, temperatures at the church can be 10°C below Tbilisi
• · Monastery visits require covered shoulders and knees for both men and women; skirts are available at some entrances, scarves are not always
• · Wine estate accommodation near Telavi is rural, with limited choice of restaurants nearby, most dinners are at the estate itself
• · Walking in Sighnaghi and at Bodbe involves cobbled slopes and some stairs, comfortable shoes recommended
• · October is harvest season in Kakheti; cellars are busy and some tastings may be shorter than usual, confirmed at booking
