Why Georgia
Why travel to Georgia
Wedged between the Black Sea and the Greater Caucasus, Georgia packs glacier-capped peaks, 8,000-year-old wine traditions and warm mountain hospitality into one small-group expedition. Here is what to expect on the ground.
What's the weather like?
Georgia has four distinct seasons. Summers inland (Tbilisi, Kakheti) are warm at roughly 25–35°C, while winters are cool. The high Caucasus around Kazbegi and Svaneti is markedly colder, with snow lingering at altitude well into spring.
Top things to do
- Trek the trails and watchtowers of Svaneti
- Hike up to Gergeti Trinity Church beneath Mt Kazbek
- Taste qvevri wine in the cellars of Kakheti
Dishes to try
- Khinkali — hand-twisted soup dumplings
- Khachapuri — molten cheese bread
- Mtsvadi — vine-smoked skewered meat
- Churchkhela — grape-must and walnut sweets

Top places to visit in Georgia
From cliff-top monasteries to medieval mountain villages, these are the landscapes our Caucasus expedition is built around.
Kazbegi
A mountain town under the 5,047m Mt Kazbek, and the trailhead for the climb to the lone Gergeti Trinity Church on its grassy ridge.
Svaneti
Remote, UNESCO-listed highland region of stone defensive towers and glacier valleys — the heart of our Iron Routes expedition.
Kakheti
Georgia's wine country, where families still ferment qvevri wine in clay vessels buried underground, a tradition stretching back millennia.
Vardzia
A vast 12th-century cave monastery carved into a cliff face in the south, honeycombed with chapels, tunnels and frescoes.
Mtskheta
Georgia's ancient spiritual capital and a UNESCO site, home to Jvari Monastery and Svetitskhoveli Cathedral at the meeting of two rivers.
