Borjomi THE WATER
When you are hangover in the morning, everyone suggests u borjomi in Georgia (country). One morning after previous night party, me and my hangover friends decided to go to Borjomi, we wanted pure, natural borjomi water, we had not tasted before and we knew it was not far from Tbilisi. David (this young guy really knows his job) picked us up at our hotel and we started. The road was interesting, but we were feeling so bad, nobody was caring about picturesque landscape. In two hours we were in Borjomi City drinking natural Borjomi water, it was amazing, you feel how you are getting better, your energy level fills and u feel reborn. We saw also Bakuriani, but unfortunately there was not snow, but we had nice georgian cuisine and we became drunk again on the way back to Tbilisi. Of course we filled our bottles with borjomi water for the next morning, it is free. Thank you David and whole Georgia for great hospitality.

Authentic Kakheti Wine Tour: Tastings, Sighnaghi & Wine Tunnel: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tbilisi.
How much does Authentic Kakheti Wine Tour: Tastings, Sighnaghi & Wine Tunnel cost?
+
Prices start at $121 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Tbilisi usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Authentic Kakheti Wine Tour: Tastings, Sighnaghi & Wine Tunnel take?
+
Plan for about 10 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Tbilisi is not rushed.
Is Authentic Kakheti Wine Tour: Tastings, Sighnaghi & Wine Tunnel worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Tbilisi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Authentic Kakheti Wine Tour: Tastings, Sighnaghi & Wine Tunnel?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Authentic Kakheti Wine Tour: Tastings, Sighnaghi & Wine Tunnel suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Authentic Kakheti Wine Tour: Tastings, Sighnaghi & Wine Tunnel?
+
Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Tbilisi can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Tbilisi and add a light layer if any part of the 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Authentic Kakheti Wine Tour: Tastings, Sighnaghi & Wine Tunnel start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Tbilisi within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Tbilisi?
+
On Outty we rank every Tbilisi experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Kakheti Wine Region Tour + 10 Premium Wine Tastings & Sunset, Tbilisi:Mtskheta,Jvari,Bazaar,Chronicles of Georgia & Wine Cellar, Day Trip to Kazbegi and Gudauri. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Tbilisi?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Tbilisi?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
