Georgia — country and culture

A country to discover

Georgia lies in the Caucasus, beside the Black Sea. Its capital, Tbilisi, is a starting point for exploring a culture in which language, art and the table meet.

A visible language

The Georgian name for the country is Sakartvelo — საქართველო. Georgian letters give books, signs and artworks a distinctive presence. Learning to say gamarjoba, hello, is one small way to begin a conversation with this culture.

Start at the table

A meal can be an introduction to a country: watch the gestures, ask the name of a dish and share your impressions. Our other pages continue the journey through Georgian food, wine and hospitality.
