Fine wine, food and mountain-studded countryside in Georgia
They’re not your standard honeymoon destinations, but the numerous natural hot springs and craggy Caucasus Mountains – dotted with picture-book Orthodox chapels – make Georgia a worthy inclusion on our list of best honeymoon trips. Perhaps most popular, however, is its diverse cuisine – something this nine-day journey gives you ample time to experience. Feasting at a farmer’s market, enjoying lunch in Old Tbilisi and trying your hand at traditional winemaking – and drinking – are just a few of the activities you can look forward to.
