Today, we'll venture outside Tbilisi to the ancient city of Mtskheta, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Explore the historical wonders of this spiritual center, including the Jvari Monastery and Svetitskhoveli Cathedral, both significant landmarks in Georgian Christianity. Georgia, unlike its neighboring countries in the region, has maintained its Christian faith throughout its tumultuous history, despite facing invasions and threats from powerful empires such as the Mongols, Ottomans, and Persians. The magnificent monasteries in Mtskheta stand as a testament to the deep-rooted faith of the Georgian people in Christ and the significant role they played in the state's baptism and rich history.

In Georgia's ancient academies of Gelati and Ikalto (which we will visit), viticulture and winemaking were studied as sciences as early as the 11th century. We will visit a wine museum, where we can see the entire process of winemaking from vineyards to finished products. And, of course, we will taste the wine.
