The Georgians have a saying … at the beginning of time when God was giving out land to the various nations of the world the Georgians were too busy drinking to attend. Arriving late, God was angry and asked why they had dishonoured him so; there was now no land left to give them. But the Georgians replied that far from dishonouring God they were late simply because they were drinking to His health and this took quite some time. God was pleased by their answer and so gave them the tiny bit of land he had been keeping for himself.
Georgia is one of the most beautiful counties you are ever likely to visit. The Grand Caucasus Mountains that stretch all the way from the Black Sea coast to the shores of the Caspian are high and untamed with snowy peaks and lush green valleys that bloom in spring with a multitude of wild flowers. Eagles soar above the glaciers while wolves and bears stalk the forest floors. And among them live the Georgians, an independent race whose creed is giving and living with their delicious food and wine.

It is a region that is likely to get under your skin. So be warned; a first visit to the Caucasus is unlikely to be the last.
