About Georgia

Caucasus peaks, cobbled old towns and 8,000 years of wine

Georgia packs staggering variety into a small country: glacier-clad Caucasus peaks, subtropical Black Sea beaches, cave cities and a capital where art-nouveau balconies lean over cobbled lanes. It is the birthplace of wine, fermented in clay qvevri for eight millennia.

Hike beneath the Holy Trinity Church at Gergeti with Mount Kazbek behind it, soak in Tbilisi's domed sulphur baths, and feast at a supra — the legendary Georgian banquet led by a toastmaster and fuelled by amber wine.

Local Culture

Georgian culture revolves around hospitality, polyphonic singing (UNESCO-listed) and the supra feast. The unique Georgian alphabet is one of just 14 in the world. Guests are considered a gift from God — expect toasts, qvevri wine and a table that never seems to empty.
