Project Description
Georgia 2021
6 — 12 June 2021
Georgia: Mountain trekking, Christian holy sites and Kings’ wine cellars.
Georgia is a country of ancient culture, tropical nature and legendary hospitality. We will follow mountain paths in the shade of age-old Yew trees, we will have a splendid feast in the property of Bagrationi dynasty, we will feel the energy of a cave monastery and wash away all fatigue in sulfur bathhouses. We will find out how the brightest of local wines ages and we will sing together with a national ensemble.
They add more salt to food, more colours to nature and more love to words in Georgia. Christian holy sites are younger than wineries here, ancient capital is situated in the suburb of the present one, and the museum of the most famous Georgian painter, Pirosmani, is located in the district constructed by Germans.

WE WILL DISCOVER:
— How Queen Tamar’s cave residence became a monastery;
— What mountain streams in Kvabiskhevi valley sound like;
— How Prince Bagration of Mukhrani made wine that impressed sommeliers of France;
— Why Dumas and Pushkin loved sulfur bathhouses of Tbilisi and why the city would not exist without thermal springs.
