Wander the Old Capital — Stories, Sweets & Wine
Tour description
Discover Georgia’s ancient soul in the timeless streets of Mtskheta — where every step tells a story, and every flavor brings history to life.
Our journey begins in front of the stunning Svetitskhoveli Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most sacred places in the country. As we walk through Mtskheta’s old streets, I’ll guide you through the fascinating history of Georgia’s former capital — why it was once the heart of the kingdom, and why it changed, all while uncovering myths, royal secrets, and spiritual legends.
Along the way, we’ll stop to taste traditional Georgian sweets, local honey, unique spices, and more surprises from family-run shops and stalls. You’ll learn how these treats are connected to Georgian hospitality and rituals that go back thousands of years.
We’ll walk alongside the river, enjoying breathtaking views and peaceful corners where nature and history meet.
As the tour comes to a close, we’ll gather for a wine tasting — and I’ll share the proud story of how Georgia became the birthplace of wine, with archaeological evidence dating back over 8,000 years. Yes, you’ll meet the people from the land where alcohol was invented!
This isn’t just a tour — it’s a journey through taste, time, and tradition.
