Kazbegi Day Tour with Tastings

About this experience

You meet at Europe Square in Tbilisi in the morning and ride north in a minibus with your guide; one guest counted 18 people from 7 countries in the Sprinter. The first stop is the Zhinvali Reservoir for photos, then Ananuri Fortress above the water, with its churches, towers and viewpoints. Through the Aragvi valley you reach Pasanauri, where the Black and White Aragvi rivers meet, and stop for a short tasting of honey and chacha, the Georgian grape spirit.

Higher up comes Gudauri and the Friendship Monument, the listing's Gudauri Panorama, over deep gorges. From there you cross to Stepantsminda. The listing says the 4x4 up to Gergeti Trinity Church is optional, not in the price and paid locally, depending on road conditions. Up top, the 14th-century church faces Mount Kazbek (5,054 m, Georgia Travel) over the valley.

Included: entrance fees, transport, the guide and the two tastings. Lunch and drinks are not included; the stop is at a Georgian restaurant with khinkali, khachapuri and grilled meat. Luggage is allowed. A friendly tip: a guest in November 2026 noted that lunch comes early, around 11:30, so go easy on breakfast.

Tips before you book

  • Bring GEL in cash for the optional 4x4 to Gergeti and for lunch; neither is in the price.
  • Pack warm clothes, a hat, sunscreen and water, as the listing asks: it is much colder up there than in Tbilisi.
  • Eat a light breakfast. Lunch comes early on this route, one guest noted.
  • No 4x4? Georgia Travel puts the walk up from Stepantsminda to the church at 30 to 40 minutes uphill, a hike of intermediate difficulty, so only try it if your guide gives you the time.
  • Want the whole picture first? Our Kazbegi day trip guide compares every option.
