Georgia is a land of towering Caucasus Mountains, ancient fortresses, vineyards, and charming streets of Tbilisi. Here, people bake khachapuri, prepare khinkali, make wine in traditional clay vessels known as qvevri, and raise long, thoughtful toasts around tables filled with food and friends. In the mountain villages of Svaneti, medieval towers still rise above the landscape, while in Kakheti, centuries-old winemaking traditions are carefully preserved. Georgia has its own distinctive rhythm of life, rich polyphonic singing, passionate dances, and a spirit of hospitality that has long been an essential part of its national character.
