Welcome to Georgia

Found within the borders of Asia and Europe, Georgia has a distinct and ancient cultural heritage, and known for its tradition of hospitality and amazing cuisine. This is a land that is also referred to as the Cradle of Wine, because it has one of the oldest wine making traditions all over the world.

Museums, churches and monasteries dating back to the 17th century are also all over the land- a must-see for any history buff.

Western Georgia is also the site of the ancient kingdom of the Colchis, which is very famous as the destination of Jason and the Argonauts as they searched for the Golden Fleece.
