A country of winemakers and farmers, poets and musicians, Georgia is an unassuming, “rough around the edges” destination with the capacity to render travelers—specifically foodies and wine-aficionados—speechless. Here, the gastronomic and wine experiences of the Kakheti region are paired with the history and cultural blend of the capital city, a former Silk Road trade hub. Adventurous travelers may wish to tack on an excursion to the dramatic mountainous region in the northeast.
