What to expect on this trip

Georgia is a country shaped by empires, mountain passes, and 8,000 years of winemaking tradition.
This journey moves from Tbilisi’s eclectic streets to the vineyards of Kakheti and the dramatic peaks of the Caucasus. Along the way, fortress towns, cave cities, family-run wine cellars, and alpine roads reveal a place that feels both ancient and unexpectedly modern.
In Tbilisi, explore a capital where fortress walls, carved balconies, and domed sulfur baths line the banks of the Mtkvari River. Medieval churches sit alongside Soviet-era landmarks and bold contemporary design, revealing a city shaped by centuries of reinvention.
In Mtskheta and Borjomi, explore UNESCO-listed monasteries and early Christian landmarks that shaped Georgia’s spiritual and architectural identity. Beyond these sacred sites, cave cities carved directly into rock reveal a kingdom once built within stone.
In the Caucasus, hike to Gergeti Trinity Church as it rises against the slopes of Mount Kazbegi, rewarded with sweeping alpine views and rare stillness. Stay in a mountain hotel where floor-to-ceiling windows frame the snow-capped peaks, turning the landscape into your evening backdrop.
In Kakheti, stay at a private chateau owned by a family of traditional winemakers, with behind-the-scenes cellar access and a visit to the Qvevri Wine Museum. Here, days unfold over vineyard tastings and generous, home-hosted meals that celebrate Georgia’s rich culinary heritage.
This journey suits travelers drawn to layered history, bold landscapes, and one of the world’s oldest living wine traditions.
