Georgia and the Caucasus
Meet us far out on the fringes of Europe and Asia, where the ancient nation of Georgia stands prettily in the shadow of the Caucasus Mountains. As you can imagine, the highlands of this region can get pretty chilly during winter, so August is a great time to explore the Caucasus more comfortably. Our nine-day itinerary blends unique foodie experiences with epic outdoorsy activities. You’ll learn about the country’s ancient baking and winemaking techniques – the latter is the oldest known on the planet – as well as tucking into a number of tasty Georgian delicacies and taking a cooking masterclass at a local chef’s own home. You’ll trek the luscious forests of Lagodekhi National Park and visit the remote mountain village of Juta, but the highlight is without doubt our guided hike to the fairytale Gergeti Church, high in the Caucasus and stood in the shadow of Mount Kazbegi, Europe’s fifth tallest peak. Don’t worry, your hard work will be rewarded with a soak in the city’s sulphur baths, plus more wine, if you so desire. Sold on Georgia? This trip has a departure for 10 August on sale right now.
