Summary With this eleven-day adventure, you’ll travel overland from Georgia to Armenia to experience off-the-beaten-track highlights, natural landscapes and welcoming, local people. Wander the streets of 3000-year-old Kutaisi, see some iconic monasteries like Khor Virap and Sevanavank and veer off the tourist trail to explore an old Soviet spa town, abandoned and atmospheric. Go on a hike in search of bezoar goats in a protected wildlife area, meet local wine makers with two wine tastings in both Georgia and Armenia and try your hand at Dolma making with a local cooking demonstration. With a night on the shores of gorgeous Lake Sevan and a range of diverse experiences and destinations, why not take an adventure that will surprise, delight and inspire?

Highlights Visit the first café in Armenia to focus on the employment of people living with disabilities, stay by Lake Sevan with a local NGO committed to inclusivity and attend a cooking workshop founded by local women who aim to preserve Armenian culture. Veer off the tourist track and explore the lesser visited Georgia – see the Soviet ghost town of Tskhaltubo to wander the abandoned sanatoriums, explore Vardzia’s Cave Town to learn about 12th-century history and walk to Borjomi’s natural mineral springs. Hike with rangers in search of bezoar goats with the country’s first community-managed protected area – the locals here aim to preserve the environment and educate the community about the local flora and fauna. Learn about Georgia’s proud wine traditions with a visit to a local family winery and sit down to a hearty home-cooked lunch with a paired wine tasting. Then, enjoy another wine tasting on a farm visit in Armenia. Take in the stunning views of Khor Virap Monastery and Sevanavank Monastery – the ancient buildings set against the natural backdrops of mountains and blue lakes are just as impressive as the layered histories!
