Journey Through the Centuries

10:00 — History, tradition & nature

Step back in time and discover the rich cultural and natural heritage of Adjara. Our adventure begins at Gonio Fortress, the oldest and most significant Roman fortress in Georgia — a classic example of a Roman castrum with impressive walls, Byzantine bathhouses, Ottoman fortifications, and the legendary burial site of Saint Matthew the Apostle. Continue to the Borjgalo Ethnographic Museum, a unique cultural treasure created by renowned woodcarver Kemal Turmanidze, featuring intricate handcrafted models of traditional Adjarian houses, watermills, wine cellars, and rural settlements brought to life with animated miniature figures. Next, travel to Kapnistavi, the Village of Seven Waterfalls, surrounded by unspoiled nature with spectacular waterfalls, scenic trails, lush forests, and picturesque canyons. Taste and purchase authentic regional wines while learning about centuries-old winemaking traditions. The day concludes with a traditional lunch or picnic in nature, surrounded by the tranquil beauty of the countryside.
