Project Description
Georgia 2021
20 – 23 October 2021
Tbilisi sulfur baths, Kakhetian wine and a 7th century monastery.
To eat, pray and love, and also to sing, bathe in a sulfur bath and breathe the mountain air. We have
compressed the classical Georgian to-do list into the author's composition, which is reduced to the
program of one weekend. We'll see the panorama of Tbilisi from the pool on the roof of the old printing
house, cook lamb under the guidance of a chef, a favorite Gault & Millau gastroguide, get into a service
in an ancient monastery and compare the orange wines of a royal winery and a boutique farm. Of
course, we'll sing with the soloists of Rustavi ensemble, and after a generous feast we'll go to the baths –
with them begins not only the history of the Georgian capital, but also the new day of each of its guests,
weary of the richness of flavors, smells and colors.
Tbilisi is the city of carved balconies, steep hills and green boulevards. Here ancient monasteries soar
above the domes of sulfur baths, and the winding streets bear the names of writers familiar from
childhood. Georgian color today is more than Pirosmani signs, Gabriadze puppets or Danelia movies.
Bohemian left bank will show us galleries, boutiques and art-clusters. And young chefs will surprise you
with experiments at the intersection of national, European and Asian cuisines.

WE WILL DISCOVER:
— why "German" Chugureti ceded the title of trendy neighborhood to the dynamic right-bank Vera;
— which monastery really stands above the confluence of Aragvi and Kura and why Lermontov confused
everyone;
— what is the difference between imeruli and megruli or acharuli;
— how wine is filtered in earthen quavers and why Georgians call wine without pulp "wine without
childhood".
