Other highlights include experiencing Imeretian and Megrelian cuisine; tasting handmade cheeses and chocolates at tiny Phoka Nunnery; touring Vardzia’s cave monastery, once home to 2,000 monks; and taking a walking tour of Pheasant’s Tears Winery.

Group size limited to 16.

Dates: Oct. 3-14

Price: From $5,095 per person, double occupancy; $995 single supplement. Includes accommodations, most meals, ground transportation, sightseeing and cultural experiences. International airfare not included.
