An immersive tour through Tbilisi, Tsinandali, and Kazbegi inspired by our Tastemakers
A swirl of steam rises from your plate. Dumplings filled with bright herbs and melting cheese, their pleated edges still warm from the hands that made them. You’re seated in a mountain home carved into the folds of the Caucasus, the scent of garlic and pomegranate trailing through the room, as a host ladles slow-simmered stew into clay bowls. Just hours ago, you stood before a 14th-century monastery, its stone silhouette hovering like a secret in the clouds. Now, stories pour like wine and laughter spills between sips of chacha. Tomorrow, you’ll return to the art-filled cafés and gallery-lined alleys of Tbilisi—but tonight, high above the world, tradition wraps around you like a woolen cloak. Georgia reveals itself slowly, in savory bites and songs that split the air like the light over the mountains. It’s a place of contrasts—noble and everyday, ancient and alive—and it stays with you long after the final toast.

These luxury tours in Republic of Georgia are inspired by tastemakers like Kachka, Alice Feiring, Matthaisson Wines, and others—all of whom have led one of our Tastemaker trips to Republic of Georgia. Their influence and input has shaped this trip—each leaving an indelible mark through their expertise, local connections, and unforgettable moments of exploration. Now, we invite you to experience Republic of Gerogia in its most authentic form, through their lens.
Kachka
Bonnie and Israel Morales of Portland’s award-winning restaurant, Kachka, joined us three times for a master class in Georgian food, wine, and tamada, the art of hospitality.
Alice Feiring
Alice, a 3-time James Beard award-winning wine writer, joined us to share her love for Georgia and it’s 8,000-year winemaking history.
Nicholas and Leslie Goellner
Nicholas and Leslie Goellner, the duo behind Kansas City's The Antler Room, joined us to share their passion for Georgian wine and culture.
The planning and day-to-day operations of this trip were excellent! I felt very well cared for.
The food was excellent. I’m going to have to work hard to get back to my weight pre-Georgia!
The trip was curated in a way that provided unique experiences we wouldn't have had if we traveled solo.
Where We Sleep

Where Soviet relics meet sleek modernism, our boutique stays embody the inventive edge of today’s Georgia. Each space is a thoughtful mix of past and present that is industrial, imaginative, and unmistakably local.
*On rare occasions, our hotels will change. Our standards for luxury and authenticity will not.
Rooms Hotel Tbilisi
TbilisiSet in a converted Soviet publishing house, this design-forward hotel pulses with the energy of modern Tbilisi. In the soaring library lounge, creatives and politicians sip cocktails side by side, while breakfast is a lavish affair of house-made preserves, pastries, and seasonal fruit. It’s a gathering place, a sanctuary, and an emblem of Georgia’s new cultural vanguard—all under one historic roof.

Tsinandali Estate
TsinandaliTucked among vineyards in the heart of wine country, this elegant property rests on the former grounds of Prince Chavchavadze’s estate—an iconic figure in Georgian literature and winemaking. Rooms are thoughtfully styled in natural textures and warm tones, echoing the pastoral beauty of the surrounding landscape. With sweeping views of the Caucasus and a quiet reverence for tradition, it’s both retreat and revelation.

Rooms Hotel Kazbegi
KazbegiPerched high in the Caucasus Mountains, this alpine lodge once welcomed the Soviet elite for spa retreats. Today, its clean lines, vintage textures, and floor-to-ceiling windows frame the peaks like living art. Whether soaking in the pool, enjoying a drink by the fire, or waking to snow-dusted summits just beyond your balcony, the mountains are always close at hand.
