The essential Georgia
in seven days.

Seven days built for travelers who want to actually meet Georgia — not just photograph it. You'll spend nights in family guesthouses in Kakheti, join a Georgian toast competition, hike to the iconic Gergeti Trinity Church at 2,170m, and eat meals cooked in front of you by the families hosting you.

Four regions are covered — Tbilisi, Kakheti wine country, the Kazbegi mountains, and UNESCO Mtskheta. 29 separate wine tastings are included. You'll leave with recipes, stories, and a favorite Georgian grape you'd never heard of.

What you'll experience
  • Welcome dinner with Georgian folk show
  • Tsinandali Palace + 3 wines from the 19th-century cellar
  • Qvevri-maker family lunch in Kakheti
