Georgia is the cradle of wine. The oldest seeds of grape and wine make apparatus were found in Georgia, and even the word wine comes from Georgian word g'vino.

The highest occupied settlement in Europe is in Georgia: Ushguli (just try to pronounce that one!)

More people in Georgia live to be over 100 than almost anywhere else. They say its the yogurt, the organic food and wine and our zest for life.

Georgia, has more bio-diversity than some continents. You can hike in one day from subtropical marshes to lofty alpine zones, from glaciers to vineyards.

Georgia has one of the largest proportions of land designated as national park, about 25% (in contrast, only 4% of the USA is protected). Fully 40 % of Georgia's territory is forest, much of it old growth

We are home to more than 500 unique variety of grape, most of them used for wine, more than anywhere else in the world.

Georgian hospitality is legendary. We truly believe that guests are a gift from God, and treat them accordingly. The Georgian tradition of toasting (which we also claim to have invented) is poetry and philosophy united.
