This heritage-focused tour leads you into the peaceful world of Kakheti’s most iconic monasteries. From the ancient academy of Ikalto to the towering presence of Alaverdi Cathedral and the twin settings of Old and New Shuamta, each stop reveals another layer of Georgia’s spiritual and architectural history.
Your private driver handles the navigation while you absorb the calm of stone chapels, frescoes, and wooded trails. There’s time for quiet reflection, gentle walking, and optional additions like a winery visit or a rustic lunch stop nearby. It's a journey rooted in the land’s traditions and beauty.
Book your heritage tourBegin at the Ikalto Monastery, once home to Georgia’s medieval academy, where philosophers and winemakers alike studied. Continue to the mighty Alaverdi Cathedral, one of the tallest in Georgia, set against a backdrop of open fields and snowy peaks. Then wander the wooded path between Old and New Shuamta monasteries, quiet and cool under the trees. Each site has its own story, atmosphere, and rhythm.
Your private car is clean and climate-controlled, with a driver who knows the region and respects the quiet nature of the sites. Questions are welcome, some drivers have family roots in the area and can offer personal insight about Kakheti’s religious traditions.
