Overview
Visit two countries that have taken a big leap into the 21st century, where small towns and monasteries sit comfortably alongside towering skyscrapers. Stop by one of Europe's largest open-air rock museums, walk through the gardens of a local Kakheti family and talk about provincial life over a hearty lunch. Uncover the centuries-old recipe for producing Georgian wine and learn how to make your own yogurt. Hike in the shadows of the Caucasus Mountains and visit the highest village in Europe, Ushguli. This all-encompassing trip takes you from eccentric Baku to the green slopes of Georgia's Mestia valley and through the ancient alleyways of Tbilisi.
