Georgia Unseen: Wine Harvest and Caucasus Mountains

Georgia’s been making wine for 8,000 years, and at harvest, we’re invited in. Pick grapes with the Vardiashvili family, crush them the old way and pour them into clay qvevri buried in the earth, then feast at their supra while the folk singers go. After that, swap the vines for the Caucasus and hike up to Gergeti Trinity under Mt. Kazbegi.

a little preparation, a lot of possibility

is this trip for me?

come for the harvest, with fitness for an uphill mountain hike.

this is a moderate, women’s adventure that pairs a hands-on grape harvest in kakheti with a hike up to gergeti trinity beneath mt. kazbegi. wine enthusiasm is optional; being ready to walk uphill matters.

trip length

8 days

the harvest is hands-on: you’ll pick grapes, crush them the old way and pour them into clay qvevri.

the mountain outing is a hike up to gergeti trinity, not just a sightseeing stop.

what the rating really means

Fitness

think beyond a flat park connector walk: use bukit timah climbs and stairs in your block to prepare for walking uphill.

Technical

use macritchie trail walks to practise deliberate foot placement and controlled steps, alongside your stair sessions.

Comfort zone

swap the familiar park connector routine for hands-on grape harvesting, a family feast and hiking beneath the caucasus mountains.

there’s a lovely contrast here: picking and crushing grapes with the vardiashvili family, sharing their supra as the folk singers sing, then swapping the vines for a hike up to gergeti trinity. it’s a moderate adventure, so come prepared to put your legs to work as well as settle in around the table. you don’t need to love wine to belong here—the food, family and songs are just as much the point, and a raised glass of water is welcome.

  • can you climb stairs in your block at a steady pace without feeling completely spent?
  • can you walk uphill at bukit timah and keep enough energy for the walk back down?
  • can you walk a macritchie trail with controlled steps, including on the downhill sections?
  • can you bend to reach towards the floor and stand back up comfortably, as a check for hands-on harvesting?

use these as practical preparation checks, not a race or a pass-fail test.

nobody gets left behind.

nobody gets left behind. we set the hiking pace by the slowest person, and we’re here to support you along the way.
