Great Wne Tour
Levani was an outstanding driver and tour guide. The van was a comfortable late-model Honda with good A/C. Levani was very accommodating and even made a minor detour for us to buy post card stamps. One of the highlights was him joining us for lunch and talking about Georgian culture and politics. We would do this tour again.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for excellent review. Hope we will see you again ❤️
via Tripadvisor
A great trip with George to visit some of the top vineyards in the Kakheti region. We enjoyed his selection of places, each different and unique in their own way. George was very knowledgable about Georgian wine and their wine-making process. We hope to visit again to see some of the other wineries.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your honest and excellent review. Hope will see you again 🫶

Amazing Guides for Tbilisi
We did 2 one day tours with Geo and both were amazing. The landscape of the country is beautiful, that apart, George & Nikolas (our guide) were absolutely amazing through out the 2 days. Extremely accommodating of our smallest requirements. At our trip to Gudauri, it started snowing half way and we couldn't go ahead, instead of wasting day, they changed the plan and we did another area. Nikolas was a very knowledgeable tour guide, very informative above the country and its history. I would strongly recommend George & his team as they made the experience very personalized, smooth and amazing!!
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for excellent review and kind words about me and my company. Hope will see you again ❤️

Interesting Visit to the Winery with sidetrips to Bodbe
We started our trip by visiting the KTW Winery, it was an interesting experience where we tasted a variety of local wine varieties and were given a taste of their brandy. After sampling the local wines we headed to the next winery which is Cradle of Wine, it was an amazing experience where we were told the history and the process of Georgian Wine making during which you also will sample the traditional wines and cheese. This is an amazing experience for anyone who is interested in the history and traditions of wine making.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much

Private Kakheti Wine Tour: Khareba Tunnel, Telavi & Gremi: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tbilisi.
How much does Private Kakheti Wine Tour: Khareba Tunnel, Telavi & Gremi cost?
+
Prices start at $94 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 Private Kakheti Wine Tour: Khareba Tunnel, Telavi & Gremi take?
+
Plan for about 9 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 Private Kakheti Wine Tour: Khareba Tunnel, Telavi & Gremi worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 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 Private Kakheti Wine Tour: Khareba Tunnel, Telavi & Gremi?
+
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 Private Kakheti Wine Tour: Khareba Tunnel, Telavi & Gremi suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Kakheti Wine Tour: Khareba Tunnel, Telavi & Gremi?
+
Around 1 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 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Kakheti Wine Tour: Khareba Tunnel, Telavi & Gremi 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 Tbilisi:Mtskheta,Jvari,Bazaar,Chronicles of Georgia & Wine Cellar, Kakheti Wine Region Tour + 10 Premium Wine Tastings & Sunset, 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.
