About this destination
Georgia is the world’s oldest wine region, 8,000 years of winemaking, still done in clay qvevri buried in the earth. The capital Tbilisi is one of the most characterful cities in the region: crumbling Soviet balconies, sulphur bathhouses, rooftop bars, a medieval old town. An hour north, the Caucasus mountains rise to snow-capped peaks above monastery,filled valleys. For groups who like food, wine, culture, and scenery in equal measure, Georgia is extraordinary value for a genuinely distinctive trip.
