When couples choose Georgia for their wedding, there’s always a different dream behind it. Some are looking for a quick and simple way to officially register their marriage in Tbilisi, while others imagine an intimate ceremony surrounded by the vineyards of Kakheti. And then there are those for whom a wedding is, above all, about scale and emotion: breathtaking views, mountains dissolving into the clouds, and the feeling that this day exists outside of time. If you recognize yourself in this vision, Porta Caucasia is a venue worth your attention. It rightfully ranks among the top mountain wedding locations – and not just because of the panoramas. At Kate&Co Weddings, we value Porta Caucasia for its rare blend of untamed Caucasian nature and refined European comfort. This is a place for those who want to turn their celebration into a true experience: mornings on a terrace above the clouds, moments of relaxation in the spa, and the atmosphere of a modern mountain chalet. We invite you to discover the unique opportunities this location offers for couples ready to exchange vows at breathtaking heights – and give themselves and their guests a celebration they will never forget.
Our unforgettable moments
Porta Caucasia for your perfect wedding with views of the Caucasus mountains
Porta Caucasia Kazbegi is located in the heart of Stepantsminda village – at an altitude of around 1,700 meters above sea level, surrounded by panoramic landscapes of the Caucasus Mountains. This is not just a beautiful location; it’s a space that immediately sets the scale for your wedding day. The modern architecture, combining stone and glass, looks stylish and harmonious against the backdrop of wild nature, creating a visually clean and aesthetic scene without clutter. The views of Mount Kazbek provide the ultimate “wow effect” that draws couples to mountain weddings – no decorations are needed, nature does it all for you. At the same time, you don’t sacrifice comfort for seclusion. The drive from Tbilisi takes about 3–3.5 hours (approximately 160–170 km from the international airport), and the journey along the Georgian Military Highway becomes an impressive part of the wedding experience – memorable and breathtaking. Just 30 km away is one of the country’s best mountain resorts, Gudauri, and nearby is the Gergeti Trinity Church, offering additional opportunities for photoshoots and a rich wedding weekend. This is the main advantage of Porta Caucasia: everything is already gathered in one place – views, atmosphere, logistics, and infrastructure. All that remains is to unlock the potential of this location through details – gastronomy, guest accommodations, and thoughtful organization of your wedding day.

The gastronomic concept of Porta Caucasia is built on freedom of choice: your wedding here is not limited to a single hall or menu.

- On-site wine shop. A unique opportunity for couples – professional wine selection from an extensive collection right at the hotel. We assist in creating a wine list that complements the chosen dishes and delights your guests.
- Bar and lounge area. Stylish spaces for informal socializing. Here we often organize an impressive Welcome zone with signature cocktails or a cozy after-party following the main banquet.
At Kate&Co Weddings, we handle all management: from designing the perfect wedding menu in both restaurants to coordinating the bar. Your only task is to enjoy the moment while we create a flawless gastronomic experience for you.
