Trips to Georgia
The more time passes, the more I love Georgia! It was love at first sight really, the food, the beauty and the warmth of the people here are all remarkable. I can't wait to help you discover this country tucked into the Caucasus!
A trip to Georgia is above all a journey outside of time, where tradition and modern life sit together like nowhere else. The clearest example is the capital, Tbilisi, a true melting pot of cultures, architecture and generations. Wander the old town's narrow streets, then explore the rest of the country's stunning landscapes. Admire Mount Kazbek from the Gergeti Trinity Church, wind your way through the vineyards of Kakheti, and take a swim in the Black Sea. Georgia's natural riches are hard to match anywhere else.

Trip to Georgia: everything you need to plan your perfect route
May to October is the ideal season to visit, with mild temperatures of 18 to 25°C and plenty of sunshine. Winter, on the other hand, is great for winter sports, with guaranteed snow at the resorts. Knowing the seasons well helps when planning a route around mountain pass accessibility.
The regions of Svaneti and the little-known Tusheti offer spectacular trails, as featured in the 14-day Trekking in Georgia itinerary. Reaching these remote valleys and the perched village of Ushguli involves real challenges with altitude and route-finding. Local support is strongly recommended for exploring this wild terrain safely.
A self-drive itinerary is a great way to explore the mountains at your own pace, as shown by the 8-day Georgia Road Trip. That said, driving on Caucasus roads calls for some caution given occasionally tricky conditions. Local expertise is valuable for planning distances and cutting down unnecessary travel. For more comfort, travelling with a private driver is a great option, letting you relax and enjoy the journey with less stress.
Yes, the country offers plenty of easy, accessible experiences, such as exploring Prometheus Cave or the hidden tunnels of Vardzia. The 11-day Georgia as a Family itinerary shows why it's worth keeping a relaxed pace. Planning ahead helps limit travel fatigue and keep things comfortable for children.
Joining a feast led by a 'tamada', or learning to make khinkali, is a great way into local hospitality. These personal encounters, a highlight of the 9-day Essentials of Georgia itinerary, work best away from the busiest spots. A local guide makes a real difference in understanding these long-standing customs.
It's entirely possible to extend your route south to explore more of the Caucasus. The 14-day The Caucasus, from Georgia to Armenia itinerary offers a full immersion in these two culturally rich countries. Managing border crossings takes careful logistics, something expert planning can help take care of.
Trip to Georgia: 7 good reasons to go
- Trace winemaking back to its roots. Archaeologists have found wine residue in Georgia dating back 8,000 years, and the word 'wine' itself comes from the Georgian 'gvino'. Wine has been at the heart of Georgian food and culture ever since.
- Wander the streets of Tbilisi, Georgia's capital and a real gem at the heart of the Caucasus. The old town is a genuine maze of streets, lined with café terraces, street vendors and buskers.
- Take in the scale of Mount Shkhara and Mount Kazbek, both taller than Mont Blanc! These two peaks dominate the Georgian landscape and are a constant backdrop on hikes through the north of the country.
- Enjoy the Georgian art of the table and share a truly convivial moment at a traditional feast. The meal is paced by a series of toasts, led by the master of ceremonies, the 'tamada'.
- Swim in the blue waters of the Black Sea. With 310 kilometres of coastline, Georgia turns out to be an unusual choice for a beach holiday, and a great excuse for a swim in the Black Sea.
- See the resilience of the Georgian people, who have kept reinventing themselves since the collapse of the Soviet Union. Conversations with locals are often genuinely moving.
- Ski down the mountains of the Caucasus. With more than 6 months of guaranteed snow a year at the resorts, Georgia is a real paradise for skiers and snowboarders.
Georgia, travel with a local agency
A trip to Georgia rarely leaves anyone unmoved, given how full of surprises and contrasts the country is. Deeply Christian, it's a place that sits somewhere between Asia and Europe, and no one quite agrees on which. Tucked between the peaks of the Caucasus and the shores of the Black Sea, Georgia offers varied, well-preserved nature. It's also a chance to get close to the vineyards in a land often called the birthplace of wine. Old traditions live on here, and good food and drink remain central to Georgian culture. You'll discover the art of the Georgian feast, recognised by UNESCO as part of the world's intangible heritage, along with the warmth of Georgian hospitality. A trip to Georgia promises a real change of scenery in a part of the world that deserves to be far better known, given everything it has to offer.
The riches of Georgia
Khachapuri*, lobiani, lobio,*khinkali, so many delicious, iconic Georgian dishes to enjoy with good local wine. Sharing a meal is central to Georgian life, and a trip to Georgia is also a trip for the taste buds, with plenty of local dishes to savour. Beyond its food, Georgia is striking for its natural landscapes and the monuments that trace its long history. Shaped by an eventful past, Georgian culture carries a whole mix of influences, blending East and West, with a clear Soviet imprint still visible. The capital, Tbilisi, is probably the clearest example of this vibrant mix. Between charming cobbled streets and imposing buildings, the city moves to the rhythm of its people, who hold on to their traditions while looking firmly ahead. But Tbilisi isn't the only place with so much to offer. From Gergeti Church at the foot of Mount Kazbek to the Alazani Valley, from Ananuri Fortress to the city of Kutaisi, discover the treasures of this beautiful country on your trip to Georgia.
Trekking in Georgia
Want to discover Georgia on foot? It's certainly the best way to fully take in the Caucasus mountains, with their spectacular scenery around every bend. Head out trekking in the heights around Stepantsminda, along the wine route in Kakheti, or through the wild landscapes of Tusheti. Most of your trekking trip through Georgia is done on foot, which is exactly what lets you reach regions that are still hard to get to. Discover a side of Georgia that's more authentic and untamed than ever.
