Georgia

About Georgia

Georgia sits at the crossroads of Europe and Asia, wedged between the Greater Caucasus mountains and the Black Sea. Its capital, Tbilisi, grew up around natural hot springs on an ancient trade route. With a unique alphabet, a celebrated cuisine and one of the world's oldest winemaking traditions, Georgia packs remarkable cultural depth into a compact, mountainous territory.

• ·Archaeological finds suggest Georgia has been making wine for some 8,000 years, making it a strong contender for the birthplace of winemaking.
• ·Georgians call their country Sakartvelo; the English name 'Georgia' arrived via Persian and European tongues and has no link to the U.S. state.
• ·Tbilisi takes its name from an old Georgian word for 'warm', a reference to the natural sulfur hot springs the capital was founded around.
