Georgians are fiercely proud of their unique script, wine, and independence from Russia

Refusing food or wine at a Georgian table is a serious social transgression - eat and drink

The host always pays at a Georgian supra - offering to split the bill is offensive

Orthodox Christianity is deeply important - cover up at churches and remove hats

Toasts at Georgian dinners can last 2 minutes each - raise your glass and drink every time

Georgia is exceptionally safe for solo travellers, including women

Hidden Gems
