Georgia and the Caucasus
The locals will be quick to tell you that Georgia is the birthplace of wine as we know it today, and with a history of viticulture dating back to at least 6000 BCE, they could well be right. This nine-day tour is heavy on the wine and even heavier on the Georgian dumplings and khachapuri – but you’ll walk off the calories on epic mountain hikes and treks through luscious national parks. Start with a Georgian lunch in Tbilisi’s old town, before learning the art of winemaking, and feasting in the countryside. After high-altitude hikes to remote valleys and monasteries, end your tour with a soothing sulphur bath back in Tbilisi.
