About this experience
Discover the highlights of western Georgia on a diverse day trip combining culture, nature, history, and wine. Start at Gelati Monastery, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its 12th-century mosaics, frescoes, and spiritual atmosphere overlooking the Rioni Valley. Continue to Prometheus Cave, an impressive underground world of illuminated stalactites, stalagmites, and vast halls shaped over millions of years. Next, explore the haunting beauty of the Tskaltubo Abandoned Sanatoriums—monumental Soviet-era buildings that tell stories of a forgotten past and create a unique, cinematic setting. End the day at Nikoladze Winery, where natural wine is made in traditional qvevri buried in the ground. Taste authentic Imeretian wines, learn about ancient Georgian winemaking traditions, and enjoy warm family hospitality. Gelati Monastery is temporarily closed for conservation works. We visit Mostameta Monastery instead.

Very polite and...
Very polite and knowledgeable guide. Tour allowed us to see most of the Kutaisi surroundings. Unfortunately Gelati cathedral is under construction and you can't see much there.

Really cool tour! Gelati was closed and Giorgi kindly bring us to a nearer monastery with awesome views. As we are not wine lovers, we offered us to visit a route for hiking and really cool too! I recommend this tour as a good plan to do near Kutaisi
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re happy you enjoyed the experience It was a pleasure hosting you, and we hope to welcome you again in Kutaisi.

You Have to Do This Winery Tour
Amazing tour. Our guide was knowledgeable and flexible with the different things we saw. His knowledge and stories about Gelati helped us to understand the true grandeur of the place in spite of the construction. The winery was simply amazing. Honoring the family tradition of his forefathers, our guide educated us in the ancient ways of wine-making in Georgia. And the wine superb!
Response from the operator: Thank you for visiting our winery! We’re glad you enjoyed the qvevri wines and learning about our traditions. Sharing our family story and natural winemaking philosophy means a lot to us.

Great tour from Kutaisi
Giorgi, our tour guide was very informative as we explored the monastery, Prometheus cave and the extremely cool Medea sanitorium. And the wine tasting at his family winery was a great ending to a perfect excursion.
Response from the operator: Thanks for the Review. We are happy to host you again in Kutaisi

Why this scores 71
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Gelati, Prometheus, Sanatoriums and Wine tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kutaisi.
How much does Gelati, Prometheus, Sanatoriums and Wine tour cost?
+
Prices start at $30 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Kutaisi usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Gelati, Prometheus, Sanatoriums and Wine tour take?
+
Plan for about 5 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 Kutaisi is not rushed.
Is Gelati, Prometheus, Sanatoriums and Wine tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 11 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Kutaisi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Gelati, Prometheus, Sanatoriums and Wine tour?
+
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 Gelati, Prometheus, Sanatoriums and Wine tour suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 5. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 5-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Gelati, Prometheus, Sanatoriums and Wine tour?
+
Around 4 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 Kutaisi 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 Kutaisi and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Gelati, Prometheus, Sanatoriums and Wine tour 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 Kutaisi 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 Kutaisi?
+
On Outty we rank every Kutaisi experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include CANYONS & CAVE Tour from Kutaisi - Okatse, Martvili & Prometheus, From Kutaisi: Martvili & Okatse Canyons & Cave Guided Tour, Kutaisi: Martvili Canyon & Prometheus Cave, Georgian Lunch. 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 Kutaisi?
+
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 Kutaisi?
+
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.
