Tbilisi, Kazbegi and the Kakheti wine hills
Twelve days from Tbilisi sulphur-bath lanes and Narikala ridge light through Mtskheta cathedral hush, Ananuri fortress above the Zhinvali water, Gudauri alpine shoulders and Stepantsminda Gergeti Trinity silhouette under Mount Kazbek, then east into Kakheti vineyard colour at Telavi and Sighnaghi wall town belvederes, an optional Gori and Uplistsikhe cave-town edge, Borjomi park-pine hush before a soft return to the capital. Hotel wallbox and city DC in Tbilisi and Telavi where present; the Military Highway and mountain coverage is thinner — cool battery, daylight mountain legs, careful state of charge, unhurried Caucasus and wine-hill rhythm.
Season: Best May to June and September to early October. Winter snow can close high Military Highway shoulders; summer storm cells pass the Caucasus ridges fast. Book overnight hotel wallbox in Tbilisi, Stepantsminda and Telavi when you can. Charge before Gudauri, Kazbegi and Borjomi hops — cool battery, daylight mountain departure; coverage outside the capital is thinner. Keep a careful state of charge on long Kakheti and gorge legs.
