Leave the city behind as we journey west into Georgia’s storied heartland. First stop: Uplistsikhe, a vast cave complex carved into rock over 3,000 years ago. Wander through echoing halls, secret passageways, and pagan temples that once hosted rituals long before Christianity reached the region. With panoramic views and eerie acoustics, it’s like stepping into a forgotten civilization.
From ancient caves to modern craft: meet Andro Barnovi, a former governor turned artisan winemaker. Sip natural wines on his rustic estate and enjoy a farm-to-table lunch surrounded by vineyards. Continue to the peaceful Ateni Valley for a visit to the 7th-century Ateni Sioni Church, then arrive at Nick Vacheishvili’s winery and guesthouse, where Georgian hospitality shines.

This morning, we journey north, crossing through the cradle of Georgian history. Our first stop is Mtskheta, Georgia’s ancient capital and spiritual heart. Wander the cobbled streets lined with artisan shops, and step inside the Svetitskhoveli Cathedral, a soaring 11th-century masterpiece said to house the robe of Christ. With its towering frescoes and sacred legends, it’s a place where history feels alive.
From here, we follow the dramatic Georgian Military Highway, climbing through mountain passes and alpine valleys. Along the way, we pause at the majestic Ananuri Fortress, where stone towers overlook a deep blue reservoir.

With Mount Kazbek towering above and the valley unfolding below, it’s a moment of awe that sticks with you.
Descending into the valley, we visit Tsdo, a half-abandoned village where time slows down. Here, a local family welcomes us into their home for a hands-on khinkali cooking class, learning to shape Georgia’s beloved dumplings before sitting down to a hearty lunch together. In the afternoon, we hike to the Gveleti Waterfalls, where alpine air, rushing water, and mossy canyons offer a wild refresh. Return to Kazbegi by evening, with free time to relax or explore.

A two-hour hike reveals a landscape both rugged and dreamlike – a final dose of high-mountain wilderness before descending into the fertile plains of Kakheti.
We cross over the Akhmeta Road, winding into the heart of Georgia’s wine region. After a scenic lunch stop en route, we arrive in Telavi, a historic town surrounded by vineyards and rolling hills.

Wander through lush gardens, historic wine cellars, and elegant halls where nobles once gathered.
By midday, we arrive in Sighnaghi, a picture-perfect hilltop town with terracotta rooftops, cobbled lanes, and sweeping views of the Alazani Valley. After a guided walk through this charming 18th-century town, we meet Archil Natsvlishvili, an ex-IT professional turned passionate winemaker at Kerovani Winery.

Founded by Saint David, one of Georgia’s Assyrian fathers, the monastery has withstood centuries of history, from Silk Road traders to Soviet military use.
We explore Lavra Monastery, where monks still reside in ancient rock-hewn cells, and take in the dramatic views of this isolated, wind-swept terrain.

In the afternoon, we reach Lake Sevan, the shimmering “Pearl of Armenia” and the largest lake in the Caucasus.

Today is all about experiencing Yerevan like a local—with a twist of flavour and flair.

At the Matenadaran Manuscript Museum, we delve into Armenia’s intellectual heritage. This world-renowned institution houses over 23,000 ancient manuscripts, some of the oldest in the world, offering insight into Armenia’s deep literary and religious history.
After a coffee break in one of Yerevan’s charming old-town cafés, we embark on a culinary walking tour that doubles as an immersive city experience. Over the course of four delicious hours, we explore 5–6 curated stops, sampling iconic Armenian dishes while weaving through the city’s highlights—Northern Avenue, Abovyan Street, the Opera House, and more.
This afternoon, you’ll have time to shop for artisanal crafts at Vernissage Market or browse the fragrant stalls of the GUM Food Market, famous for its dried fruits, nuts, and sweets.

This morning, we step into the spiritual heart of Armenia with a visit to Echmiadzin Cathedral, the world’s first Christian cathedral (built in 301 AD) and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This sacred place remains the centre of Armenian Christianity, its grandeur reflecting centuries of faith and tradition.
Next, we journey to the Garni Temple, a striking 1st-century Greco-Roman colonnade—the only one of its kind in the Caucasus. From the temple grounds, gaze over the Azat River Gorge, where rugged cliffs and dramatic basalt formations create an unforgettable panorama.
In a nearby village, we experience one of Armenia’s most treasured traditions—a lavash baking masterclass. Watch as local bakers stretch and bake this UNESCO-listed bread in a traditional tonir (underground clay oven), then sit down for a lunch featuring Ghapama, a festive stuffed pumpkin dish rich with rice, nuts, and dried fruits.
The afternoon takes us to Geghard Monastery, a breathtaking 4th-century complex partially carved into towering cliffs. Once believed to house the Holy Lance that pierced Christ’s side, this sacred retreat echoes with the prayers of centuries past. If available, we’ll be treated to a live acapella performance inside the monastery—its stone-carved halls providing ethereal acoustics.

Radventures lives for those who want to escape the ordinary. Those who want to steer clear of the tourist traps and queues of cashed up pensioners. Those who are nomadic by nature and desire deep, authentic and local connections to make their trip as much about the journey as the destination. If that sounds like you, then you’re just like us, and between our relentless efforts to blow your expectations out of the water and our super knowledgable team, we’re your travel experts!
Different tours/trips have varying physical demands, but our most adventurous are designed to be enjoyed by anyone who is reasonably fit. When selecting your tour please make sure you have read through the itinerary and itinerary carefully to assess your ability and to cope with our style of travel. Some trips visit remote areas with limited or non-existent medical facilities so you must be in good health. Factors such as altitude, cold temperatures, delays, unfamiliar food and different customs and cultures can also add to the physical toll. Keep in mind you will sometimes need to carry your own bags. Please note that if, in an extremely unlikely case, in the opinion of our guide, any guest is unable to complete the itinerary without undue risk to themselves and/or the rest of the group, Radventures reserves the right to exclude them from all or part of a trip without refund. You should consult your doctor for up-to-date medical travel information or for any necessary vaccinations before departure. We recommend that you carry a first aid kit as well as any personal medical requirements (including a spare pair of glasses) as they may not easily be obtained at the locations on this trip. For legal reasons our guides are prohibited from administering any type of drugs including headache tablets and antibiotics. Please ensure that you are adequately prepared.
Yes! We would definitely recommend an “All Inclusive” policy that covers you for both medical expenses as well as any trip cancellation or interruptions. You can purchase this from our booking platform, “WeTravel”, or contact us for more information.
At Radventures we pride ourselves on our flexibility. If you wan’t to enjoy more of this beautiful country before and after your time with us, we’d be more than happy to make any arrangements for you. As for being partly involved in a tour, whilst we can’t make any guarantees about whats possible or not, it’s best that you get in touch with us when you’re considering booking a tour or trip with us and let us know how you want things to work so we can see if we can make it work.
This is a tricky one. We don’t know when other people will book, so it’s hard to know if and when the tour will fill up. Our advice is to book as soon as you’ve made the decision to travel, that way you won’t be disappointed. Most of our service providers have a cutoff date of 2-3 months before departure that we need to advise them to release any excess space, and while we may be able to get these services back after the cutoff date it’s definitely safer to book early while we can still guarantee enough space for you.
You’re in great company! We have two options for solo travellers on our tours – you can join our share program to be matched with another rad solo traveller (of the same sex), or you can purchase the single supplement to have your own private room.
