Georgia Bespoke

Georgia's capital Tbilisi might be the perfect city—not too big, not too small, perfect for exploration on foot, with many charming corners and alcoves where you’ll discover a perfect wine bar or colourful carpet shop, a sculpture gallery or flower market. Walk a little further and find yourself in a shaded and cool botanical garden. Cross the river and explore a fortress dating back to the silk road. In the evening, ride a gondola to an elevated viewpoint and dine overlooking the lights of the city. Walk back through the streets of the city to your hotel, stopping to listen to streetcorner musicians and Georgian singers. 

The south Caucasus mountains rear up in the north of the country and form the border with Russia. Dark stone ramparts and blindingly white glaciers form an impossibly high barrier. Slip through a narrow pass and discover lush alpine meadows, springs and rocky streams coursing through them. Shepherds graze their livestock around small stone villages and hiking trails lead up hidden valleys to forgotten fortresses and lonely monasteries. 

The Kakheti Valley encompasses hectare upon hectare of vines and myriad wineries. Some are small family producers, some are cooperatives operated by orders of monks, some are large-scale producers that supply Moscow and St Petersburg. Almost all are making their wine in the ancient organic way, stored in underground qvevris, which are massive earthenware urns. The wines are clean, natural and refreshing mirroring the landscape of broad river valleys, mountains, fields and forest, and we collaborate with the best producers to give you a taste.
