Georgia: country of love, wine and mountains
You fall in love with Georgia at first sight. Everything here is imbued with spiritual warmth, and through the exoticism and unique flavor, notes of something of our own, dear, break through - after all, it’s not for nothing that the destinies of our countries have been closely intertwined for many centuries.
We invite you to see charming Tbilisi and discern in it that beautiful Tiflis, glorified in the works of Pushkin and Lermontov, which witnessed the main love in Griboyedov’s life. And then go explore other regions of hospitable Georgia: endless vineyards and graceful towers of Kakheti, healing waters and wooded mountains of Samtskhe-Javakheti, medieval monasteries and mysterious caves of Imereti... You will get acquainted with the numerous peoples of Georgia, their culture and delicious cuisine, exotic tropical landscapes and the legacy of the Soviet era, ancient fortresses and an endless mixture of styles, from which an authentic and unique Georgia is born.
Season in Georgia: all year round due to the mild southern climate. The ski season lasts from January to the end of March.
Transport: Toyota and Mercedes V-class minibuses, Land Cruiser SUVs, Eurocopter H125 helicopters.
Tbilisi
Getting to know any country should start from the capital, and Tbilisi is an excellent starting point for traveling around Georgia. The Pushkin Garden, lacy balconies, sulfur baths, narrow streets, the impregnable Narikala fortress with the Fig Gorge, an “open-air vernissage” and endless gastronomic discoveries await you.
Vineyards of Kakheti
Kakheti wines are perhaps the most famous of Georgian wines. It is impossible to imagine visiting this region without walking through the endless vineyards and tastings at the best wineries: popular varieties and unique signature drinks, the largest factories and family productions...
Alazani Valley
This is not just one of the main centers of winemaking, but also a surprisingly picturesque place. Here you can visit the cozy city of Sighnaghi and find out how it is connected with the love story from the song “A Million Scarlet Roses”, see the powerful fortress walls and majestic towers of the Middle Ages, and also have lunch with a delightful panoramic view.
Mtskheta
The ancient capital of Iberia, a city with an interesting history and a huge number of attractions. There are many religious monuments in the city and its surroundings: for example, the Jvari monastery in the Byzantine style or the Svetitskhoveli Cathedral, which is associated with a beautiful legend about the sacred Lebanese cedar.
Borjomi
A resort city surrounded on all sides by mountains and forests with healing clean air, Borjomi received the status of an elite resort back in the days of the Russian Empire, when members of the Romanov royal family vacationed here. At the resort you can relax in thermal pools and visit beautiful mansions and palaces.
Vardzia
An incredible rock city in its grandeur, closely associated with the legendary Queen Tamar. Churches, refectories and libraries were carved right inside the rock. In addition, it was an impregnable fortress that protected residents from numerous enemy attacks. And although most of Vardzia is now destroyed, it still amazes the imagination.
Kutaisi
One of the most important centers of Georgian culture, Kutaisi played a big role in the fate of ancient civilizations - the Colchis, Abkhazian, and Imereti kingdoms. The myth of the Golden Fleece, the lives of kings and Christian martyrs, the White Bridge, the central park and the Bagrati Cathedral towering over the city - an interweaving of legends and stories awaits you.
Prometheus Cave
Another name is Kumistavi Cave. The largest cave in the country, a fabulous underground kingdom with winding labyrinths that are so interesting to wander through, with lakes and rivers along which you can ride a boat. Unusual lighting along the entire tourist route of the cave will add mystery to the visit.
Batumi
The main resort of the country, located on the warm Black Sea coast. The fates of Yesenin, Gorky and Stalin are connected with Batumi; the architecture of European and Asian styles is combined here, the Russian Empire, the Soviet Union and modern Georgia meet. And all this is framed by tropical gardens, mountain ranges, cypress trees and magnolias.
Tsikhisdziri
A small village in Adjara is interesting for its unique microclimate. You will find wild pebble beaches and shady forest paths, magnolia groves and the main attraction - the ruins of the Fortress of Petra, a Byzantine city of the 6th century AD, which once stood on a steep cliff and was called the “enchanted fortress”.
Adjara
A mountainous region at the foot of the Lesser Caucasus, with a distinctive and rich culture. Christians and Muslims coexist peacefully here, and the coastal and mountainous areas create an unusual contrast. Be sure to enjoy Adjarian cuisine, try exclusive wines and aromatic honey chacha, and learn about the traditions of the Adjarian people.
Kazbegi
A high-mountain village with a beautiful view of the most famous mountain of Georgia - Kazbek. In the vicinity of Kazbegi there are countless natural wonders: the stormy Gveleti waterfall, the quiet Trusso valley, the gorge of two Aragvi rivers with the ancient Ananuri fortress and much more. A visit to this area is a must for all nature lovers.
Ushguli
The settlement is located in Svaneti and is one of the highest mountain communities in Europe (2200 m above sea level!). Only about three hundred people live here, but five magnificent churches have been built, including the Church of the Virgin Mary with thousand-year-old frescoes. And all around are fantastic landscapes that will take your breath away!
You are just a few steps away from your dream trip!
Tour program of your choice
Tbilisi
The capital of Georgia is so original that it is very difficult to talk about it - this city reveals itself to you only during leisurely walks along the narrow streets and sincere conversations over a hearty lunch with kebab, mtsvadi shish kebab, and delicious wine. Blooming, noisy and friendly, Tbilisi combines many styles and cultures, an amazing cocktail of which cannot be found anywhere else: from antiquity to modernity, from ancient mansions to European Art Nouveau and Soviet modernism.
We invite you to go on an original tour of Tbilisi. An experienced guide will take you to the most iconic places of the city: you will see the legendary carved balconies over the Kura River, walk along the Dry Bridge with an authentic flea market, visit the Narikala fortress, the buildings of which were erected in different historical periods, but at the same time look very organic. Below the fortress lies the picturesque Fig Gorge, where pleasant coolness reigns during the day, and at night the beautiful lighting creates a romantic mood. You will visit the Pushkin Garden, admire jewelry that is more than 5 thousand years old in the Georgian Museum, and learn an incredible love story associated with the palace of the Prince of Oldenburg.

Helicopter rides from Tbilisi
Georgia is a large and diverse country, each of its regions deserves attention. If your stay in Georgia is not very long, but you really want to see its beauty, we invite you to helicopter rides to the most interesting locations! By helicopter you will quickly get to any attraction and will be able to see it from the most breathtaking angle - from a bird's eye view.
There are many options for where to go by helicopter from Tbilisi. You can view from above the main peak of the country - the majestic Kazbek and its fantastically picturesque surroundings: the high-mountain village of Kazbegi, the Gveleti waterfall, the Aragvi River gorge and the Ananuri fortress, an ancient outpost of Transcaucasia. Another popular destination is the cave city of Vardzia. This is a huge impregnable fortress eight stories high, carved into the rock. Vardzia is just as impressive when viewed from above as when walking along its hidden streets. And finally, from a helicopter, the mountain region of Svaneti looks absolutely special with snow-capped peaks, secluded valleys and ancient towers, harmoniously integrated into the landscape. Upon request and prior arrangement, during any helicopter excursion you can make stops for a walk and sightseeing nearby.

Samtskhe-Javakheti: Vardzia and Akhaltsikhe
Vardzia is a cave city, an unusual fortress where the Georgian ruler Tamar lived. This is a unique property that combines nature, inventive architecture and rich Georgian history. Although today most of the territory of the complex has been destroyed by the elements and due to centuries-old raids of enemies, this place is still impressive, with almost a hundred rooms available for visiting: churches and wine cellars, libraries and living rooms...
Although Vardzia was actively used for only a hundred years, it is incredibly important for the history of the country, because it witnessed the Golden Age. The fortress was considered impregnable and was, in fact, a full-fledged city with streets, baths, and a lake with fresh water. Up to 20 thousand people could take refuge here at the same time, and Vardzia is eight floors high! After visiting this amazing complex, we will have lunch with a Meskhetian family, and then go to the Akhaltsikhe fortress. This place was a commercial and cultural-political center in the 8th-10th centuries, and is a powerful citadel in the Arab style. More recently, the fortress was carefully reconstructed and is now one of the most popular attractions in the region.
