Highlights
Discover the highlights of western Georgia on a diverse day trip combining culture, nature, history, and wine. Start at Gelati Monastery, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its 12th-century mosaics, frescoes, and spiritual atmosphere overlooking the Rioni Valley. Continue to Prometheus Cave, an impressive underground world of illuminated stalactites, stalagmites, and vast halls shaped over millions of years. Next, explore the haunting beauty of the Tskaltubo Abandoned Sanatoriums—monumental Soviet-era buildings that tell stories of a forgotten past and create a unique, cinematic setting. End the day at Nikoladze Winery, where natural wine is made in traditional qvevri buried in the ground. Taste authentic Imeretian wines, learn about ancient Georgian winemaking traditions, and enjoy warm family hospitality. Gelati Monastery is temporarily closed for conservation works. We visit Mostameta Monastery instead.

About Kutaisi
Kutaisi is one of Georgia's oldest cities, a former royal capital on the Rioni River with a ruined cathedral, hillside monasteries and a covered market.
Kutaisi, the main city of Imereti in western Georgia, was once the capital of the kingdom of Western Georgia and is linked by legend with Aia, the land of Jason and the Golden Fleece. The Rioni River runs through the centre, and the Colchis Fountain, with gilded animals, stands on one of its squares. The Bagrati Cathedral, an eleventh-century church on a hilltop, was ruined by the Ottomans in 1692 and rebuilt in modern times.
