Nestled in a peaceful valley just outside Gori, Ateni Sioni Church is a beautifully preserved 7th-century basilica surrounded by vineyards and rolling hills. This private valley drive includes convenient pickup and drop-off anywhere in Gori, a leisurely ride through scenic farmland, and time at the church to admire its ancient frescoes and serene surroundings.
Your driver can share local stories, and we can arrange a licensed guide at the church. Optional extras include a riverside picnic or a tasting stop at a nearby vineyard.
Ateni Sioni dates from the 7th century and features impressive stone carvings and medieval fresco fragments. It sits along the Tana River, with vineyard terraces nearby offering peaceful views. It’s a less-visited gem ideal for photo enthusiasts, couples, and anyone drawn to early Georgian architecture.

The tour lasts about 3 to 4 hours, including pickup, drive, church visit, and optional extras. Pricing starts at $70 per vehicle (up to six passengers). Best in spring through autumn. Licensed guide for detailed history available on request.
