This isn't a package holiday. Georgia sits on the edge of Europe — below Russia, above Turkey, wedged between the Black and Caspian Seas — and it feels like nowhere else on earth. The food is extraordinary. The wine is ancient. The mountains are serious. And the people will feed you until you can't move and then pour you a brandy.
This is Ski & Wine with a cultural right hook. We're calling it the Adventure Division for a reason.
Don't Take Our Word for It
The chacha made me do it.
I was nervous going as a solo traveller — but complete strangers from all corners of the world became something that felt like family. I found my people immediately. Best trip ever.
A perfect mix of adventure, Georgian culture, and a fantastic group of people. A truly authentic and unforgettable experience. Can't think of a better combination than snowy mountains and tasty wine.
I can't see myself circling back to any other ski holidays other than SDSW until my liver throws in the towel. You made me feel like I was surrounded by my family on my birthday — by people I'd only met 3 days before.
I joined this legendary team for two trips — Rise Festival and Georgia — and both were unforgettable. They brought together such a fun international group that it was impossible not to make friends. Have already booked the next one.
Everything That Matters
Ski & snowboard rental · Lessons · Backcountry touring · Heli-skiing · Snowmobiling · Paragliding · Extra nights in Tbilisi
Tbilisi
Arrive into one of Europe's most underrated cities. Cobblestone old town, brutalist Soviet architecture, ancient churches, rooftop wine bars — Tbilisi does not have an identity crisis; it has five identities and leans into all of them.
We explore the city, eat like locals, and visit a winemaker who will tell you the whole story of Georgian wine in between pouring you more of it.
2 nights · city exploration · winery visit
The Mountain
The road from Tbilisi to Gudauri cuts through the Caucasus and it is genuinely one of the most dramatic drives you'll ever do. Gudauri sits at 2,200 metres — wide-open pistes, deep powder stashes, and panoramic views that make the Alps look almost tame.
Four days of skiing, every level catered for. And if you want to go backcountry, heli, or properly into the wild — we can sort that too.

The Wine Country
Before we head home, we swing through Kakheti — Georgia's premier wine region — for a second winery visit, another traditional feast, and the kind of afternoon that makes you miss your flight in the best possible way.
Then back to Tbilisi for one final night in the city. If we're still standing.

Georgian Feasting
Is Not a Metaphor
The Supra · The Tamada · The Toast That Never Ends
A supra is a Georgian feast. It is not dinner — it is a multi-hour ceremony presided over by a tamada (toastmaster) who leads toast after toast, each one longer and more heartfelt than the last.
The food doesn't stop. The wine doesn't stop. The toasts become speeches. The speeches become songs. Everyone at the table is family by the end of it, including people you've never met before in your life.
We're eating like this. More than once.
Chacha is Georgia's answer to grappa. It is made from grape skins. It is somewhere between 40% and 60% alcohol. It appears at breakfast. Refusal is considered rude.
We're not saying this to warn you. We're saying this to prepare you.
The Week
Arrive Tbilisi
Land, grab a Bolt to the hotel, meet the crew. Welcome dinner: Georgian food, Georgian wine, introductions, and the first of many questions about what chacha actually is.
Into the Mountains
Transfer to Gudauri with a stop halfway at a family winery — tour of the ancient qvevri winemaking process, traditional feast lunch, then back in the van and up into the Caucasus.
Check into the mountain hotel, afternoon ski orientation, dinner.
Four Days on the Mountain
Buffet breakfast. Full day skiing. Wide pistes, good snow, spectacular views. Stops for beers, wines, chacha on the mountain. Après ski. Dinner in the hotel. Repeat.
Wine Country
Depart Gudauri and head to Kakheti, Georgia's wine heartland. Second family winery visit, another traditional feast lunch, more qvevri wine education.
Back to Tbilisi, one last night in the city. Energy levels permitting.
Departure
Check out, Bolt to the airport. Head home full, slightly fragile, and absolutely planning next year's trip.
Need extra time? We can help connect you with local guides if you want to stay on and explore.
Where We Stay
Ereto Hotel
We're taking over the Ereto Hotel in central Gudauri for the week — 18 rooms, panoramic Caucasus views from every balcony, and an on-site bar that will see some action.
It's a short shuttle to the first lift each morning — included — and everything else you need is within walking distance. Ski rental on-site, supermarket 200 metres away, and the kind of après scene that requires no planning whatsoever.
Tbilisi Hotel
Two nights in a centrally located hotel in Tbilisi — walkable to the Old Town, the best restaurants, the wine bars, and everything else the city will throw at you.
Details confirmed on booking.
What's the Damage?
Everything included. No nasty surprises. Just a deposit to lock in your spot and a monthly payment plan that means Georgia is closer than you think.

The Ones Everyone Asks
No. Gudauri has terrain for all levels — complete beginners through to freeriders. If you've never skied before we can sort lessons. If you ski double blacks in your sleep, we can get you off-piste into the backcountry.
Direct flights from London and most major European cities, or connect through Istanbul or any Gulf hub. Return flights typically run €200–€350. Georgia has one of the most generous visa-free policies in the world — most nationalities get between 90–365 days with zero paperwork on arrival.
The food alone is worth the trip and you'll have a brilliant time. The chacha, however, may pursue you regardless. Georgia takes hospitality seriously — refusal is considered rude, but we'll have your back.
Not in the base price, but ski and snowboard rental is available as an add-on directly at the Ereto Hotel. Prices are significantly cheaper than anything you'd find in the Alps.
Enough to ski (or learn to ski), eat a lot, and stay up later than you planned. The trip can be as active or as leisurely as you want — there are adventure options for those who want to push it and plenty of mountain bar time for those who don't.
Absolutely — Georgia rewards extra time. Tbilisi alone could eat a week. We can help connect you with local guides if you want to explore further after the group trip ends.
Small. We keep these intentionally intimate — you'll know everyone's name by the second day. The Ereto Hotel holds 40 guests, and we're not filling every room with strangers.
