Once upon a time, in a land where ancient legends and contemporary indulgence entwined, there lay a hidden gem tucked
away amidst the rugged peaks of the Caucasus. How many of you have heard of the nation Sakartvelo? Can you find it on the map?

As the light bathed the horizon in gold hues, you
will be enthralled by stories of ancient rituals and untamed scenery.

1. WHAT’S IN A NAME?

Georgia is geographically privileged, nestled in the Caucasus area. The indigenous Kartvelian tribe lives on this lush terrain, which is one of the reasons behind the name. Sakartvelo had been the name from the early 8th century, but it was altered due to political upheaval in the kingdom. Furthermore, Kartvelian languages have a strong effect on Svan, Mingrelian, Laz, and Georgian. As a result, it is one of the world’s oldest main languages. This is why the country is still proud, and its people continue to refer to themselves as Kartvelebi and their country as Sakartvelo.

3. FINEST OF ALL
• Tbilisi

Surrounded by mountains and dominated by the high Narikala Fortress, Tbilisi should be your first stop for sightseeing. The scent and taste of the nation’s seductive capital will begin with a private walking tour around the Old Town, where you will discover the architecture and cathedrals that have endured the test of time as civilisations have evolved. Enjoy a gastronomic tour of the city and traditional performances with a bottle of Georgian wine.

• The district of Kazbegi

The area’s ancient hilltop monasteries and snow-capped mountains are a sight to see. The rocky Caucasus Mountains should not be missed on your visit to Georgia. The views from the Black Sea to the Caspian Sea are out of this world. However, recognising the best walks and perspectives need the experience of local guides. Prepare to go on a guided walk up to Gergeti Trinity Church. Mount Kazbek, with its majestic distant cross-cupola church, has swiftly become one of Georgia’s most recognisable vistas.

• Kakheti – Georgian wine’s native land

With vineyards in the Kakheti area going back to the fifth millennium BC, it’s no surprise that Georgians are expert winemakers even today. While you may participate in the harvest by plucking grapes in the autumn, every year you can expect to be invited in to share a glass of Tsinandali with the villagers. In the hilltop village of Signagi, you’ll meet professional sommeliers for private wine-tasting sessions and learn everything about traditional Georgian winemaking processes utilising Kvevri.

4. ADVENTURES ARE A MUST

For those seeking adventure, Georgia delivers a plethora of exhilarating experiences. Traverse the breathtaking Svaneti region on invigorating hikes, where snow-capped peaks and alpine meadows set the stage for awe-inspiring moments. Explore the heart of wine country, Kakheti, and relish tastings at world-class vineyards. For a soul-stirring journey, embark on horseback rides through the untouched beauty of Tusheti National Park.

5. HOG ON THE FLAVOURS

The cuisine of Georgia is an indulgent fusion of flavours, a combo for the discerning palate. Relish the iconic khachapuri, a tantalizing cheese-filled bread with regional variations to delight every taste bud. Experience khinkali, savoury dumplings brimming with succulent fillings. Grilled meats, fresh fish, and vegetable dishes infused with fragrant herbs and sauces create a culinary revelation. Enhance your dining experience with Georgian wines, known for their ancient craftsmanship and distinct character.
