The experience

The cable car departs from the Radisson Blu and climbs to Mtatsminda Park, giving you views across the entire city as you rise. Once at the top, you taste Georgia's signature Lagidze lemonade in three distinct flavors. A drink that has been made in Tbilisi since 1947. The tasting is built into the experience, and your host guides you through it in English.

The three-hour window covers the cable car ride both ways, time at the park, and the lemonade tasting. If you want to add food (a Georgian ponchiki or an Adjarian khachapuri), those are available to order separately at the park. The round-trip cable car tickets are included. You just need to meet your host at the starting point in central Tbilisi.
