Caucasus · Destination guide
Georgia
A short flight, a world away.
Wedged between the Caucasus mountains and the Black Sea, Georgia packs cave monasteries, alpine passes, art-nouveau boulevards and eight thousand years of winemaking into a country smaller than Ireland — three hours from the Gulf with no visa for UAE residents.
Where to go
Finding your Georgia
Tbilisi
Balconied old town, sulphur baths and a wine bar on every corner.
Kazbegi
Gergeti Trinity Church beneath a 5,000m peak.
Kakheti
Wine country — qvevri cellars and supra feasts.
Gudauri
Big-mountain skiing at small-resort prices.
Seasons
When to go
May – June & September – October
The golden windows: warm valleys, clear mountain views and harvest festivals in wine country. October in Kakheti is the rtveli grape harvest — the best week of the year to visit.
July – August
Ideal for the high Caucasus — Kazbegi and Svaneti trails are open and green — though Tbilisi runs hot.
December – March
Gudauri’s ski season: genuinely good snow, tiny prices, and sulphur baths waiting back in Tbilisi.
Things to experience

Know before you go
Culture & flavour
The supra
Georgia’s legendary feast, led by a tamada (toastmaster) through wine-fuelled toasts to peace, ancestors and guests. Refusing a toast is bad form — pacing yourself is wisdom.
Wine, the original
Georgians have made wine in buried qvevri clay vessels for 8,000 years — a UNESCO-listed tradition. Amber wines are the signature; every family in Kakheti seems to make their own.
Where to stay
Styles that suit
Old-town boutiques
Balconied houses above Tbilisi’s lanes.
Mountain lodges
Kazbegi stays facing the big peaks.
Wine-estate guesthouses
Sleep at the cellar door in Kakheti.
