Route Overview

From the Caspian Shore to Caucasian Glaciers

Best Travel Seasons

April through June, and September through November (Pleasant Caspian breezes and Kakheti grape harvest)

Group Pacing & Size

Private tours of 2 to 8 guests ensuring personalized border logistics and bespoke culinary access

This ten-day dual-nation expedition bridges the cosmopolitan energy of the Caspian basin with the timeless mountain traditions of Georgia. Beginning in Baku—where UNESCO-listed medieval stone alleys sit in the shadow of futuristic architecture—you will follow the ancient Silk Road trading route through Shamakhi and the artisan silk capital of Sheki before crossing the scenic frontier into Georgia.

Our dedicated operations team ensures an utterly frictionless border crossing at the Red Bridge, where your Georgian private guide and dedicated 4x4 meet you for the second chapter. Traverse the royal vineyards of Kakheti, marvel at subterranean qvevri winemaking dating back 8,000 years, and ascend the legendary Georgian Military Highway to the dramatic alpine peaks of Kazbegi and the sulfur bath alleys of Old Tbilisi.
