💡 Good to know for this plan

~12.3 hours of daylight in September.
Rtveli — the harvest — turns every marani into an open house: grapes trodden, qvevri sealed, tables that refuse to end. The year's best two weeks to be Georgian-adjacent.
Light day: day 1 has one stop and time left over. Local tours and day trips are the way to fill it — each day links to what is bookable in its own town.
