REPUBLIC OF GEORGIA IN THE CAUCASUS:
“A Journey to the Crossroads of Cultures and Creativity”
Our curated journey will take us from the winding, historic streets of the capital city in Old Tbilisi, to Mtskheta, Georgia’s ancient spiritual heart, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site; to the legendary vineyards and monasteries of Kakheti; to ancient rock-cut settlements, medieval fortresses, and the majestic beauty of the Caucasus Mountains.
We will also explore Georgia’s remarkable archaeological legacy, discovering the story of the prehistoric human findings at Dmanisi (among the earliest evidence of human presence outside Africa), to ancient rock-cut settlements and medieval fortresses that reveal the country’s deep historical roots. And we will encounter some of Georgia’s more unexpected cultural landmarks, from the monumental Chronicles of Georgia, often called the “Stonehenge of Georgia,” overlooking the Tbilisi Sea, to Gori, birthplace of Joseph Stalin, offering a fascinating and complex window into the country’s modern history.
Join us on a caravan into the wonder of the Republic of Georgia in the Caucasus—a land of ancient kingdoms, artistic creativity and breathtaking beauty.

"Georgia is a land with an ancient soul and romantic heart."
-Mikheil Javakhishvili, renowned Georgian novelist (1880 - 1937)
Along the way, we will experience the warmth and hospitality of the Georgian people, relish their exquisite cuisine, including khachapuri, Georgia’s beloved cheese-filled bread, and savor their delicious wine made in traditional qvevri clay vessels, built upon a winemaking tradition stretching back more than 8,000 years.
We will visit historic churches as well as the extraordinary Peace Cathedral, where Christian, Muslim and Jewish traditions come together beneath one roof. We will also discover the many layers of Georgia’s spiritual diversity that have shaped the country—Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Zoroastrian and Yazidi traditions.
Art will be woven throughout our caravan, both ancient and living. We will meet contemporary artists, explore Georgian art, craftsmanship and architecture, and hear the sounds of Georgian music—all reflecting Georgia’s rich cultural heritage.
