Company Offsite and Team Building Venues in Georgia (the Country), 2026: Tbilisi, Kakheti, Kazbegi and Adjara Compared

← Back to the blog

Updated 29 September 2026·39 min read·Prices and facts checked: September 2026

Two venues in Georgia the country publish a whole-property price for one team: Glamping Tago in the Adjara mountains from 1,962 GEL a night and Horizons Bakurtsikhe in Kakheti from 2,715. This guide compares every region and venue with beds, meeting space, tested Wi-Fi, activity prices and a worked 2026 budget for 20 people over three days.

Because the budget that rents a hotel conference room in Europe rents a whole property here, and almost nobody on the team needs a visa. Georgia gives one-year visa-free entry to citizens of 98 countries, including the EU, the UK, the US, Canada and Australia, and US passport holders can stay up to 365 days. Tbilisi, Kutaisi and Batumi all take direct low-cost flights from Europe.

This is Georgia the country in the South Caucasus, 69,700 km2 between the Black Sea and the main Caucasus range, with Tbilisi as its capital. It is not the US state, and every venue, price and drive time on this page is in the country.

The saving is the reason most finance directors sign it off. Promedea puts a full Georgian programme at 30 to 40 per cent below EU prices and Eventive at 40 to 60 per cent below Western Europe, both comparing venue, catering and logistics together. Georgia took 7.8 million international traveller visits in 2025 and USD 4.69 billion of travel income, so the hotel and ground-handling layer is used to foreign groups.

This guide is written by one of the venues on it, Glamping Tago in the Adjara mountains, so read our entry with that in mind. Every other venue's numbers are its own, and each one is linked.

Match the region to the format first and the photograph second. Five regions carry company groups, and they fail in different ways.

Two planning rules come out of this table. Meetsy, which runs groups of 20 to 1,200 in Georgia, sets its working minimum at three nights in one region plus day trips: Tbilisi, the mountains and Kakheti in three nights only work on paper. And the further you go from an airport, the more the day costs you: a Kutaisi ticket is usually the cheapest, but Kutaisi to Tbilisi is 253 km by road and a 3.5 to 4 hour coach at 30 GEL, so a Tbilisi programme pays for the cheap flight in road time.

Two venues publish a whole-property price you can plan a budget against, one in the Adjara mountains and one in Kakheti, and they are the fastest way to get exclusivity without an agency. Everywhere else a buyout is a negotiation: the big resorts and the Tbilisi hotels quote per room plus hall hire, and exclusivity is something you ask a sales office to price.

Glamping Tago, Village Tago, Khulo

Where: a ridge above Village Tago in Khulo municipality, mountainous Adjara. Drive time: 2 hours from Batumi airport to Khulo on asphalt, then 30 to 35 minutes by 4x4. Capacity: 12 Lotus Belle tents for two and a nine-bed Half Dome dorm, 33 beds, with 10 to 28 the practical working range. Price from: 1,962 GEL a night for the whole camp in April, 4,488 in July and August, plus the 2,000 GEL privatisation fee for an exclusive event. Season: 1 April to the end of October. Good for: engineering, product and founding teams who want three days of real focus and a shared experience nobody forgets. Watch out for: the last road needs a 4x4, the kitchen is fully vegetarian, tents have no bathroom inside, and we close for the winter.

Horizons Bakurtsikhe, Kakheti

Where: Bakurtsikhe in the Alazani valley, 94 km and 86 minutes from Tbilisi airport. Capacity: a cottage village, with four cottages the minimum for exclusive use. Price from: 2,715 GEL a night for six cottages, VAT included, with breakfast and 10 per cent off a two-night stay. Good for: a Kakheti offsite that does not want a 300-room resort around it, with meeting-friendly spaces, a pool, sauna, fireplace, high-speed Wi-Fi and group dining. Watch out for: insects around the open fields come up even in five-star reviews, and it is a cottage village rather than a conference venue. Contact hi@gohorizons.com or +995 591 66 55 22.

Adjara is the south-western region around Batumi, and its mountains start two hours inland. Above the town of Khulo, Glamping Tago takes one team at a time, which is the part a hotel cannot copy: nobody else is at breakfast, and the work spaces are not shared with a wedding.

The work spaces. An indoor geodesic dome of 38 m2 seats about 20 and is the dedicated work room, climate controlled, with ergonomic chairs, desks and an espresso machine. Outside it, a 138 m2 platform under a sailcloth tent takes the whole group for a plenary or a workshop. Projector, screen, speaker and microphone are on site and free for a group to use, along with whiteboards, post-its and markers, and coffee and snacks are refreshed every two hours. Teams bring their own laptop to plug into the projector. There is no massage table and no gong.

The internet. Fibre Wi-Fi tested at 300 Mbps, with Starlink and mobile as backup. That is the number to compare, because Wi-Fi in an ordinary Georgian mountain guesthouse runs 3 to 15 Mbps and drops to 1 to 3 when the house is full. Remote teams from Berlin, Lisbon and Amsterdam have run normal video-call days from the ridge.

The beds. Twelve Lotus Belle tents with a wood stove, electricity and Wi-Fi, two people per tent, plus a nine-bed dorm dome: 33 beds on the hill. There is no bathroom inside a tent; two shared blocks give four showers and four toilets in total, with hot water, towels and bedding. Seven families in the village three to ten minutes below run guesthouses with 64 more beds in 27 rooms at 150 GEL a room, and about 60 camping spots on top, which is how the camp hosted a 100-person team building in June 2026 and a group of 120.

The connection layer. The wood-fired sauna with a cold plunge is lit every evening from 20:00 to 22:00 and is free for staying guests, the campfire is laid every clear night, and sunrise yoga in the dome or on the platform is included every day. Beyond the gate: five marked walks from the camp, jeep days to Green Lake, the Shuamta lakes at 2,150 m, Khikhani fortress at 2,200 m and the Goderdzi pass, plus canyoning at Uchkho and a jara honey table with a sixth-generation beekeeper.

The limits, plainly. The last stretch from Khulo needs a 4x4, so cars and minibuses park in Khulo and take the 75 GEL jeep taxi up. The kitchen is fully vegetarian. The camp is shut from November to March. A 200-person conference does not fit, and neither does anyone who needs an en-suite bathroom.

Eco House Merisi, upper Keda

The other mountain option in Adjara, and a very different one. Glass-fronted cottages with private jacuzzis sit at 804 m above the Merisi valley, 49.1 km and 70 minutes from Batumi airport up its own road from Keda. It is a hotel rather than a conference venue: 4.8 from 1,531 Google reviews, with the view, the power and the Wi-Fi praised again and again, and opinions on the restaurant divided. Ask for the session space and its size in writing before you book a group, and bring what you need, because the village has no shop.

It is not a stop on the way anywhere. Taking Merisi as a via point on the Batumi airport to Tago drive turns 87.4 km into 110.7 km and adds 38 minutes, because it sits in a separate side valley. Treat it as its own destination.

Kakheti is where Georgian companies take their own teams, and it is the easiest region to plan: one to two and a half hours east of Tbilisi airport on good roads, with everything from a 39-room estate to a 311-room resort. Its weakness is that wine tends to become the programme, so a team that needs three working days should book the sessions before the tastings.

September and early October are rtveli, the grape harvest, which normally falls in the second half of September and runs into mid-October. The National Wine Agency runs a harvest coordination centre around the clock through the season and the state sets floor prices per kilogram, so the wineries are working rather than performing. During rtveli a group cuts bunches and carries crates instead of only tasting, then sits down in the evening with the same people, which is the single best team activity the region has. Book early: Meetsy locks Kakheti venues three to four months out for 40 people or more in September.

Anapea village, near Kvareli

Where: Thilisis Tskaro near Kvareli, 130.9 km and 125 minutes from Tbilisi airport. Good for: a leadership group of 10 to 20 that wants open-air terraces and a historic marani for sessions, farm-to-table team dinners and qvevri tastings in 25 hectares of organic vineyards. Watch out for: it is an estate hotel with 64 Google reviews rather than a conference venue, so confirm room count and session space for your headcount. Contact info@anapea.ge or +995 577 21 23 23.

Panorama Kakheti Resort, Akhasheni

Where: Akhasheni in Gurjaani municipality, not Sighnaghi, 109.7 km and 99 minutes from Tbilisi airport. Capacity: the Kakheti Event Hall is 200 m2, a multifunctional room with audio-visual kit that goes from a seated banquet to a plenary to a party. Good for: 40 to 80 people who want one building, a valley view and a hall, at a fraction of a five-star quote. Ask for the room count and the second hall's capacity in writing, because neither is published. Watch out for: one recent reviewer found resident dogs at dinner and staff slow to act.

Tsinandali Estate, Radisson Collection

Where: the historic Chavchavadze estate at Tsinandali, 92.9 km and 104 minutes from Tbilisi airport. Capacity: 141 guest rooms and 2,363 m2 of meeting space over seven rooms. The indoor Theatre hall is 635 m2 and takes up to 700 people, 300 at a banquet and 223 theatre-style; the open amphitheatre is 1,066 m2 for up to 1,200, 736 theatre-style and 500 at a banquet. Good for: the premium 50 to 150 programme, a gala evening in the gardens and a plenary that does not feel like a hotel. Watch out for: this is the most expensive room night in Kakheti, and the amphitheatre is an outdoor-season space.

Lopota Lake Resort and Spa, Napareuli

Where: a private lake near Napareuli, 105.1 km and 122 minutes from Tbilisi airport. Capacity: 311 guest rooms and 1,372 m2 of meeting space, but the largest single meeting room is only 108 m2, so a 100-person plenary needs the event hall rather than a meeting room. Good for: 150 to 250 people who all want a hotel room, a pool and a spa. Watch out for: recent guests report restaurants and facilities closing when one event takes the resort over, and activities are paid by card only.

Kvareli Lake Resort

Where: beside the lake at Kvareli, 139.8 km and 133 minutes from Tbilisi airport. Capacity: 100 rooms and two conference halls, the Alazani hall at 120 m2 and the Kakheti Ballroom at 224 m2; the national tourism portal puts the larger hall at up to 300 guests and the second at 80. Good for: the other large-capacity Kakheti option, with several restaurants and a lake. Watch out for: thin English at reception, and activities that are advertised but not always running.

Ambassadori Kachreti

Where: Kachreti, 73.3 km and 64 minutes from Tbilisi airport and the closest Kakheti resort to the plane. Good for: a sports-day format, with a banquet hall, indoor and outdoor pools, a 40 m Academy pool, padel courts and a golf club. Watch out for: recurring reviews report booking messages left unanswered and pool and grounds upkeep slipping, so confirm everything in writing before you pay a deposit.

Lost Ridge Inn, Brewery and Ranch, Sighnaghi

Where: 2 km from Sighnaghi, 97.4 km and 90 minutes from Tbilisi airport. Good for: a leadership team of 10 to 15, with its own craft ale, fire-cooked food, ranch horses and natural wine. Watch out for: the horse ride follows the road rather than the hills, and the guides speak little English.

Mukhrani is also not on the way to Kakheti, whatever the map suggests. Tbilisi airport to Tsinandali via Chateau Mukhrani is 204 km and 205 minutes instead of 92.9 km and 104, because the chateau sits north-west of Tbilisi. It is an evening out of the city, not a stop on the drive east.

This is the format for a leadership team of 10 to 30 that wants one room, one table and a 5,000 m mountain out of the window. Both bases sit on the Georgian Military Highway north of Tbilisi, and the road is open all year, with snow on the high trails from October.

Two limits decide whether it works. Gudauri sits at about 2,000 m, and part of any group feels the altitude on the first night, so the heavy session belongs on day two. And the Gudauri to Kobi section closes in heavy snow and avalanche risk, which is a real risk for a fixed-date programme in January and February.

Rooms Kazbegi, Stepantsminda

Where: Stepantsminda at 1,837 m, 169.9 km and 175 minutes from Tbilisi airport. Capacity: a Grand Conference Hall of 300 m2 plus three identical 60 m2 meeting halls with conference equipment on site, 480 m2 in total, which is one plenary and three breakouts without leaving the building. Good for: the executive offsite of the country, with Kazbek in the window and an outdoor programme at the door. Watch out for: reviewers rate the view and the concept far above the room standard for the price, staffing is thin when the hotel is full, and the restaurant divides opinion. Ask for a mountain-view room in writing.

Gudauri Lodge

Where: Gudauri at about 2,000 m, 134.7 km and 143 minutes from Tbilisi airport. Capacity: 121 rooms and suites in five categories, including 45 m2 junior suites and 115 m2 two-level duplexes, with three flexible conference rooms and events for up to 180 guests. Good for: the cheapest large mountain venue in summer, when the ski crowd has gone. Watch out for: 4.3 on Google is at our bar and not above it, suite bedrooms come without blackout curtains, and Gudauri village itself is quiet and unremarkable outside the ski season.

A Gudauri night costs a Kazbegi programme almost nothing in driving. Tbilisi airport to Rooms Kazbegi via Gudauri Lodge is 170.3 km and 178 minutes against 169.9 km and 175 direct, so the two work as one trip. If you want the ski season as the hook, the Gudauri lifts opened on 27 December last season and run daily from 10:00 to 17:00, and Meetsy gives the same opening date. Its own warning is worth repeating: a ski offsite splits the team into those who ski and everyone else, so run a second track and bring the group back together after lunch. In Adjara, the Goderdzi lifts open the same day and run 10:00 to 16:00 on weekdays and 10:00 to 17:00 at weekends.

Crowne Plaza Borjomi, the all-year branded alternative

Borjomi is in Samtskhe-Javakheti rather than Kazbegi, at 807 m and 176.4 km and 158 minutes from Tbilisi airport, and it is the mountain-forest venue that never closes. Capacity: 101 guest rooms and 500 m2 of meeting space in four rooms; the Grand Ballroom takes 210 at most, 180 theatre-style and 110 at a banquet, the Georgian Room 175, and the Executive Boardroom 12. Watch out for: some guests find the rooms tired for the price.

Tbilisi is where a conference, a launch or an award evening goes, and nowhere else in the country has this much hall. The city airport handled over 4.75 million passengers in 2024, 25 per cent above 2019, and sits 17 km south-east of the centre. What Tbilisi is not is an offsite: nobody comes back from a ballroom different.

Bedroom counts matter when you are holding a block: 236 at the Radisson Blu Iveria, 215 at the Pullman and 214 at the Biltmore, which is the difference between one hotel and two for a group of 200.

The Sheraton Grand has the only ballroom in the country that seats a four-figure plenary under one roof. The Pullman is the newest floor and the only one that splits a big room into three equal working rooms on the same level, which is what a multi-track day needs. The Radisson Blu Iveria includes projector, screen, flip chart, podium, portable stage and wired and wireless internet in the room, and charges extra for an AV technician, a microphone, translation and video conferencing, so ask which side of that line your programme falls on before you compare quotes: tbilisi.ots@radissonblu.com.

Delegate catering is published, which makes a Tbilisi day easy to model. Tbilisi Marriott prints a coffee break at USD 12, lunch at USD 45 and a reception at USD 45 per person; Sheraton Grand prints an afternoon break at USD 12, a coffee break at USD 40, lunch at USD 35 and dinner at USD 60. Room hire is separate at both.

Batumi is the incentive and summer-party answer, and it is the easiest arrival in the country: the airport is 2 km from the city and 10.9 km and 20 minutes from a seafront conference hotel. It carried 951,760 passengers in 2024, 53 per cent more than the year before, which makes it Georgia's third busiest after Tbilisi and Kutaisi.

Sheraton Batumi has the biggest conference floor on the coast: 1,128 m2 over nine rooms, with a 972 m2 Grand Ballroom for 850 theatre-style, 600 at a banquet or 1,000 at a reception. Its published catering is the cheapest of the branded floors in this guide, a coffee break at USD 10 and lunch at USD 28 per person. Radisson Blu Batumi is the other seafront option for the same formats.

Up the coast at Shekvetili, Paragraph Resort and Spa is 813 m2 of indoor meeting space over six rooms, with a 460 m2 ballroom for 472 theatre-style, 350 at a banquet, five breakout rooms of 61 to 75 m2 and beach space outside, 55.7 km and 67 minutes from Batumi airport. Next door, the Black Sea Arena is an 8,000-seat amphitheatre with a food court, VIP zones, dressing rooms, four mini cinemas, parking zones and managed guest traffic, and it is the only venue in Georgia for a plenary that size. The two are 2.6 km and 6 minutes apart, so an arena plenary with resort rooms is one programme, not two.

The two-base week is the reason Adjara and the coast belong in the same plan. Glamping Tago to central Batumi is 92.6 km and 104 minutes, so three working days on the ridge and two on the sea is one transfer apart. Going the other way, the seafront is a detour rather than a stop: Batumi airport to Tago through the city centre is 103 km and 123 minutes against 87.4 km and 104 direct, a 16 km loop that is worth it for lunch and not free.

Activities in Georgia are sold per person and booked direct, and a company can get a real invoice for most of them. These are the published prices.

Rafting has a season, and the month decides who can go. The Pshavi Aragvi runs April to October and closes from November to March: April and May are adults only on higher flow, June to August is the peak with children from late July, and September and October are the calm months when children are welcome. Release from the Zhinvali dam sets the grade, which reaches III-IV in peak snowmelt from May to mid-June and settles to II-III by July. Helmet, life vest, paddle and a guide in every boat are included, and no wetsuit is needed in summer.

Adventure Georgia has run this basecamp since 2003. It takes 20 to 300 people in timed waves with rafting, the rope park and a scored team competition running side by side, invoices foreign companies by bank transfer with a deposit, covers vegetarian and vegan diets as standard, and asks for one to two weeks of lead time. Transfers are not included, but it shares bus and minibus driver contacts. The last launch is two hours before sunset, no exceptions, so an afternoon arrival from Tbilisi is cutting it fine. Aragvi Adventure Center is the other rafting and rope-park base on the same river, at 4.8 from 164 reviews, and worth a quote if your dates are full.

If you would rather hand the whole programme to somebody, the agencies publish contacts and nothing else: MEET-GE on +995 579 039 035 and office@meet-ge.com, Eventive on +995 32 219 50 70, Mind on +995 511 45 80 03, Team Building Georgia on +995 599 184 007, Team Building Organizer on +995 592 10 10 14 and Catalyst Georgia on +995 32 210 30 02. A Tbilisi operator charges 250 GEL a day for a Mercedes Sprinter for up to 20 people and 90 GEL per vehicle for an airport transfer, and issues a service contract, a completion act and an invoice for corporate reporting.

Ask the venue what it does about diets before you ask about the view, because this is the thing that goes wrong most. Teams have arrived at venues with no vegan, plant-based-milk or gluten-free option despite telling HR weeks in advance.

The kitchen at Glamping Tago, Village Tago

Our own yurt restaurant on the ridge is fully vegetarian: no meat and no fish in the kitchen at all. It seats 24 around the long table and up to 32 with extra tables, and the food is cooked fresh each morning by women from the village. Breakfast is a buffet from 09:00 to 11:00 at 32 GEL, lunch is a la carte from 13:00 to 16:00, and dinner is a buffet from 19:00 to 21:00 at 37 GEL with dessert included. Full board for a group is 100 GEL per person per day.

For a company group the chef builds the menu around the team: plant-based, gluten-free and allergen-aware, with herbs from the garden and produce from the valley. Group catering runs 85 GEL per person for a Georgian supra, 125 for a Euro-Georgian buffet and 215 for the signature five-course menu from 30 guests. Teams that want meat get it two ways: a BBQ live station at 45 GEL per person cooked for the whole group, or meat khinkali on the supra at 15 GEL per person. A group bringing its own meat pays 20 GEL for the mangal setup, and corkage on your own wine is 15 to 20 GEL a bottle.

About 24,400 GEL for the whole camp, all meals, a jeep day, a cooking workshop and return transfers from Batumi, which is roughly 1,220 GEL a head for three nights. Flights are on top. Here is the arithmetic, in June, with the numbers anyone can check above.

2026 prices

The same camp in April is 1,962 GEL a night instead of 3,584, which takes about 4,900 GEL off the same trip. October is 2,316.

Fly into the airport closest to the region, not the one with the cheapest ticket. Tbilisi serves Kakheti, Kazbegi, Borjomi and the city; Batumi serves the Adjara mountains and the coast; Kutaisi is the low-cost base and the right choice only for Imereti and the coast.

Kutaisi is Wizz Air's Georgian base and handled 1.7 million passengers in 2024, with four more low-cost and regional carriers alongside. Its flight-timed coach to Batumi is 30 GEL for an adult and 20 GEL for under 12s, about two hours, leaving 30 to 60 minutes after each landing.

Crossing the country by land got much faster. The four-lane Rikoti route opened on 29 December 2025: 52 km with 51 tunnels and 97 bridges, 8 km shorter than the old pass road, which makes Tbilisi to Batumi a realistic 5 to 6 hours over about 360 km. The two cities are about 360 km apart by road, and the Stadler express train covers it in about four hours from 35 GEL, against up to six hours by coach from 40 GEL and a 45-minute Georgian Airways flight a few days a week. For a group moving between two bases, the train is the one that does not lose a working morning.

The last leg to the Adjara mountains. Batumi to Khulo is 85 km of asphalt, so a coach or a normal car is fine that far. The marshrutka leaves the old Batumi bus station every 30 minutes from 08:00 to 20:00, takes about 2 hours 30 and costs about 10 GEL, with ბათუმი - ხულო in the window. A taxi app car does Batumi to Khulo in about two hours for up to 175 GEL. From Khulo up to the camp is a 4x4 mountain road: our own jeep taxi is 75 GEL per car for up to four people and takes 30 to 35 minutes, a minibus up costs 135 GEL, and a private 4x4 straight from Batumi is 265 GEL per car. Kutaisi is 465 GEL, Akhaltsikhe 360 and Tbilisi 925, all per car for up to four. For a team arriving on different flights we pool the waves into shared 4x4 cars, and a picnic stop at the waterfall on the way up is 50 GEL extra.

September is the best month in Georgia for a company group, and the first week of September is the worst on the coast.

Tbilisi averages 26/16 C in September and 20/11 C in October on the 1991-2020 normals, with nine or ten rain days in each, and mountain towns at 1,500 to 1,800 m run 8 to 10 C colder than that. Late September to mid-October is the single best window, and Georgians travel in it too: the first two weekends of October are the hardest dates in Kakheti. Kazbegi's road stays open all year. Svaneti is best in September and risky from mid-October. Tusheti is the region a fixed-date company trip cannot use outside July to September: the only road in crosses the Abano Pass at 2,826 m and is open about four months a year. It is 3.5 to 4 hours by shared 4x4 from Kvemo Alvani to Omalo at 100 to 120 GEL a seat, or 500 to 650 GEL for a whole jeep, and rental companies do not allow their cars on it.

In a city, yes; in the mountains, only at a venue that publishes a tested speed. Typical mobile download speeds run 100-140 Mbps in Tbilisi, 80-120 in Batumi, 60-100 in Kutaisi, 40-80 in the Kakheti wine region, 30-60 in Kazbegi town and 0-10 in remote mountains. More than 82 per cent of fixed lines are fibre. 5G launched at the end of 2023 and is a Tbilisi story: Batumi has limited coverage, and Kutaisi and the Kakheti wine region have none, so plan on 4G outside the capital.

Buy SIMs in town rather than at the airport desk, which is convenient and poor value. A Magti SIM is 10 GEL with a passport, and in the MyMagti app 5 GB is 12 GEL and unlimited data is 10 GEL a week or 35 GEL a month. Magti has the best coverage including most mountain areas, and Silknet is the runner-up and sells the easiest local eSIM online.

Then ask the venue three questions in writing: what the tested download speed is, what the backup is when the line drops, and whether a video call with a webcam has actually run from the room you will work in. At Glamping Tago the answers are 300 Mbps on fibre, Starlink and mobile as backup, and yes.

Nobody on a normal offsite needs a work permit, but the rule changed this year and it is worth reading once. Citizens of 98 countries enter visa free. From 1 March 2026 a foreign national without permanent residence who performs paid work in Georgia needs a right to work plus matching immigration status, and working without it carries a 2,000 GEL fine.

The exemption that covers a company offsite is explicit. Resolution 321, effective 9 July 2026, exempts foreign nationals employed by or providing services to a non-resident entity where the work relates to that entity's operations outside Georgia. A team from a foreign company working on its own products in a rented venue is inside that exemption. The same resolution scrapped the labour market test and replaced it with annual employer quotas.

Two cases need a second look. A facilitator or trainer flown in and paid for the event falls under short-term professional activity, which means no more than four months in one calendar year, never longer than their lawful stay, and registered by the local employer. Tour, mountain, alpine and ski guide work, courier services and passenger transport are excluded from that route and need the standard permit, which matters if you were planning to bring your own guide.

On the money side, ask three things before you sign. Can the venue invoice your company, and in which currency. How the payment splits. And what happens to cards. Our own answers: an invoice in GEL or EUR, paid by bank transfer to Bank of Georgia or through a 24-hour payment link in GEL with no commission; a 30 per cent deposit that is non-refundable and counts as the minimum spend, with the balance invoiced at the 14-day confirmation and paid before arrival, and food settled at the end of the stay. Russian-issued Visa, Mastercard and Mir cards do not work anywhere in Georgia, so Russian-speaking organisers use KoronaPay, cash or a transfer to a Georgian account. We do not take crypto. A Tbilisi operator will also issue a service contract, a completion act and an invoice if your finance team needs that set.

Lead time is set by headcount and by the month, not by how organised you are. Travel Door puts a focused meeting for under 20 people at 4 to 6 weeks, 50 to 200 delegates at 2 to 3 months and exhibition scale at 4 to 6 months, and says entry requirements for a mixed-nationality delegate list should be confirmed 6 to 8 weeks out, longer if anyone needs an e-visa. In practice the Adjara mountains are tighter than that: June to September dates at Glamping Tago go 6 to 12 months ahead, and repeat teams book 2 to 3 months out.

1. Fix the window before the venue. September first, then June, then late May and early October. If the format is ski, late December to April.
2. Hold the dates while finance catches up. We pencil dates without a prepayment for one week, then release them. That week is usually enough to get a purchase order signed.
3. Book the beds. A whole-property venue has one set of dates, and the small places have 33 or 39 beds, not 300.
4. Pay the deposit and read what it buys. Ours is 30 per cent of the booking, non-refundable, and it counts as your minimum spend: whatever changes later, you never pay less. Inside 60 days in high season it goes to 50 per cent up front, with the rest due within a week.
5. Lock the flights around the transfer, not the other way round. Pooled airport waves cost less than five separate cars.
6. Send the programme 30 days out. At Glamping Tago the daily schedule is due 30 days before arrival, and it does not depend on your final tent count.
7. Confirm the headcount in writing 14 days out. From then the booking is fixed and every booked tent is paid. Until 60 days out you can move the number freely; from 60 to 30 days you can drop up to two tents free of charge and from 30 to 14 days one more.
8. Send the rooming list 7 days out. Who sleeps where, in writing, before anyone lands.
9. Book the activities with the beds, not on arrival. A jeep takes four people, so a team of 20 needs five cars on the same morning.

Warm layers and rain gear, whatever the forecast says. A mountain camp has warm days and cold nights even in August, and phone weather apps show Khulo in the valley, not the ridge, so they are wrong more often than they are right. Tents have a wood stove and an electric heater and there is no air conditioning anywhere.

Rain does not cancel a working day at Glamping Tago. The 38 m2 dome is indoors and heated, the platform is under a sailcloth tent, the sauna is lit whatever the sky does, and film night moves from the open platform into the yoga shala. Jeep days are the part that moves: on the Adjara passes a wet morning is a reason to swap the day around rather than to sit in a car.

A few house facts that decide how a group runs. Check-in is 15:00 to 16:00 and check-out 11:00, with no early or late fee, because we move people as soon as rooms are free. Quiet hours start at 23:00. Tap water comes off the mountain and is drinkable, so bring thermoses instead of buying bottles. Laundry is 15 GEL. Two friendly dogs, Biba and Boba, live on site, which matters if anyone on the team is allergic or nervous around dogs. A group that has taken the whole property can pitch its own tents and park campervans at no charge.

• Three regions in three nights. Tbilisi, the mountains and Kakheti in one long weekend is a bus tour with slides. Three nights in one region plus day trips is the working minimum.
• Booking the cheap airport. A Kutaisi ticket to a Tbilisi programme costs most of a day in a coach, and a Tbilisi ticket to an Adjara programme costs 8 hours 30 in a car.
• Announcing room sharing on arrival. The complaints employees make about offsites are consistent: bedroom sharing announced only on arrival, no downtime in a packed itinerary, alcohol-heavy evenings and blurred professional boundaries. Send the rooming list and the schedule in advance.
• Treating diets as a detail. Ask the kitchen what it does about vegan, gluten-free and allergies at the enquiry stage, and put your list in the booking.
• Expecting a mountain venue to have mountain internet. Most do not have it. Ask for a tested number and a backup.
• Comparing a per-person price with a per-group price. Agencies quote per person, whole-property venues quote per night for the property. Convert both to cost per person per night before you decide anything.
• Renting a normal car for a mountain venue. The last road to Tago needs a 4x4, and most Georgian rental contracts exclude the Goderdzi pass as well.
• Forgetting the pass and the season. The Adjara camps close from November to March, and the Goderdzi pass at 2,025 m closes in snow. The road department answers on +995 32 2 31 30 76.
• Leaving the wine to chance in September. Rtveli is the best team activity in Kakheti and the reason the good venues are gone three to four months early.

Glamping Tago for this

A working offsite for 10 to 28 at Glamping Tago

We are a private camp on a ridge above Village Tago in Khulo municipality, mountainous Adjara, two hours inland from Batumi. When a team books the whole property, nobody else is at breakfast and no wedding is using the work spaces.

The work half: a climate-controlled 38 m2 geodesic dome that seats about 20, a 138 m2 platform under a sailcloth tent for the whole group, projector, screen, speaker, microphone, whiteboards and post-its, coffee and snacks every two hours, and fibre Wi-Fi tested at 300 Mbps with Starlink and mobile backup. Bring your own laptop for the projector.

The other half: a wood-fired sauna with a cold plunge every evening, a campfire every clear night, sunrise yoga included, and jeep days to Green Lake, the Shuamta lakes and Khikhani fortress. Yurtalicious, our yurt restaurant, is fully vegetarian, with a BBQ live station at 45 GEL a head for teams that want meat.
