Optional

Continuing with our Sascha soaking saga in Georgia, he now heads more westwards, to the the the small town of Vani.

There doesn't seem to be much on offer in the town, though of course the only reason why Sascha would want to come here, is for a local hot spring. Sascha is hooked:

'Definitively my favorite hot spring in Georgia and my first geyser soak [ever]'. 

And though we are near Vani, Sascha continues:

'It is located a bit in the middle of nowhere and I found the geyser only after many discussions with locals (who often were not even aware of the spring)'. 

Concerning users / usage:

'However, it appears that the geyser is quite common amongst young locals in the evening. As there is no shadow at all, the early morning or evening soak is indeed a good option. Wild camping should be possible, if you don’t want to stay in a guesthouse in Vani'.

The soaking experience itself: 

'The water of around 43°C sorts out of a geyser and flows in 3 pools. Two of them are sufficient deep to soak the whole body. There was some littering around the pools but once in the pool, the littering is not any more visible and the pools itself are very clean. Some sulphur smell, the ground of the pools are shaped by the minerals of the water, some sand can be found. The surrounding itself was quite beautiful, wild horses were passing by and mountains are visible by far. Bring enough drinking water with you; the sun exposure is extreme when visiting the geyser at 11 a.m. like I did'.

Getting there:

'How to get there: take the road from Vani center to Baghdati [town] for around 7 km. Then take a gravel road to the left for about 1 km. On your right side, you will find the geyser.
GPS coordinates: N42.104196° – O42.586213°'.

Dumped

Taking a more holistic view or in other words delving into the internet, let's see if there's more info available.

There's not much: you'll find the odd photo here or there on instagram (following), other than that it seems to be a dusty neglected corner of the internet. 

Visit Kutaisi notes:

Close to the village of Bzvani [or Vani?] there are a few hot sulphur spring pools which posses healing qualities. Some of them are open to everyone, available free of charge and practically the only visitors are local people. One of the pools is located in particularly beautiful spot – in a field, in the middle of nowhere. The silence and surrounding meadows create a tranquil atmosphere which makes you feel like you the only one in the world. When you look to the South you will see amazing views of the Lesser Caucasus Mountains.

Thermalsprings.ru also reports on Vani:

'Location : left bank of the river Rioni terrace, 1.8 km to the north from the road Bagdati-Vani, between the villages of Vani and Amagleba. From the road to get there can be a simple machine.

Infrastructure: no.

Description : 100 m from the riverbed Rioni, there are 4 source close - to look for. The water is very nice warm, not hot, shallow pool. Near the river Rioni, can be washed after bathing. But the place you should choose, as where the local road builders dump trucks loaded with pebbles'.

The local government website also mentions the hot springs, but not as a big attraction; apparently tourists should visit Vani for it's history. It's wording (translated):

'Resort "raising [a translation of ამაღლება]"The balneological resort is located in Imereti lowland on the left bank of river Rioni, 8 km from Vani, 80 m above sea level. Mineral thermal waters contain sodium, chlorine, carbon dioxide, and celery. They are treated by: chronic arthritis, hypertensive diseases, atherosclerosis, radiculitis, cardiosclerosis'.

The geyser is not the only hot spring in the area. Theculturetrip in an article named

'7 hot springs in Georgia you must visit'.

notes the  Sulori Spa resort:

'Located in Vani municipality, 11 kilometres (6.8 miles) away from the city of Vani, this resort took its name from the Sulori river. During Soviet times Sulori was a favoured visitor spot, and hosted hundreds of visitors each season. Today, the hotel is still going strong, with 32 individual bath rooms. People usually come here to treat conditions affecting the musculoskeletal system, peripheral nervous system, and metabolism to name a few'.

Other than the above there's not much to add.
