⛏️ The deeper you dig into Georgia, the older the stories become.

A remarkable discovery near the village of Doghurashi has revealed what researchers believe to be the largest prehistoric copper-smelting workshop discovered in Georgia, dating back more than 3,000 years to the Late Bronze Age.

For centuries, skilled metalworkers smelted copper ore here, in a landscape that provided everything they needed: forests for charcoal, water, clay for furnaces and crucibles, and nearby copper deposits.

At Living Roots, we design tailor-made archaeology and other special-interest journeys for curious travellers, academic groups, researchers and institutions seeking to explore the many layers of Georgia. From dedicated study programmes to single-day experiences, our journeys bring together expert insight and meaningful travel to offer depth, context and a richer understanding of place.

If this is your kind of travel, we’d love to share more.

🌿 You may already know why you want to come to Georgia. The rest is where we come in.

We’ll take you to the well-known places worth seeing, of course. But then a little further — down the smaller road, around a table that’s hard to leave, through villages you might otherwise pass by, and to places you might never have thought to look for.

We know when to stop, when to take the long way, and when something unexpected is worth making time for.

Thinking about Georgia? Go a little further.

Come travel with Living Roots. Send us a DM or email [email protected] — and we’ll take it from there.

🫖 Tea may not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of Georgia, but perhaps it should.

Across the lush hills of western Georgia, abandoned tea plantations are finding new life as a new generation of growers revives one of the country’s lesser-known traditions, this time with craftsmanship, sustainability and quality at its heart.

Georgia’s tea story is quietly brewing a remarkable comeback. It’s another reminder that some of the country’s most rewarding experiences lie beyond the obvious.

Curious to discover this side of Georgia? We’d be delighted to design a journey that brings you closer to the people, landscapes, and stories behind Georgia’s tea renaissance.

🫘 One of Georgia’s most beloved comfort dishes, lobio is made with slow-cooked beans, fragrant herbs, garlic, onions, spices, sometimes with tomatoes or even some walnuts. You’ll find it everywhere—from family kitchens and village homes to traditional restaurants and contemporary dining spots— each version a little different, each one worth trying.

A steaming pot of lobio rarely arrives alone. It’s often served with mchadi (Georgian cornbread) and homemade pickles, cheese and fresh herbs—simple accompaniments that turn a humble dish into a memorable meal.

🍷 Somewhere along the way, our guests started counting. Not the kilometers, nor the hours… but the wines.

By the end of their gastronomic journey through Georgia, they had tasted 78 + wines — from family cellars and larger wineries to natural wine bars and bottles rarely found beyond the villages where they’re made.

Every glass came with a story, the people behind it and some surely turned into a loving memory.

This is what traveling through the birthplace of wine can look like :) If you’re curious to discover Georgia through its food, wine, and the people who keep these traditions alive, we’d love to show you around.

💃 Across Georgia, village dance ensembles play a quiet but important role in community life. They are places where young people build friendships, confidence, discipline, and a connection to the traditions.

Behind every performance are children, dedicated teachers, supportive families, and countless hours of practice. Their work helps keep one of Georgia’s most cherished cultural expressions alive and relevant for new generations.

Whenever the opportunity arises, we love creating encounters between our travellers and these local dance or singing ensembles across Georgia.

These moments are not simply performances. They are moments of exchange — opportunities for visitors to connect with local communities and for young dancers to see that their culture, effort, and talent are appreciated beyond the borders of their own village ♥️

🌾There are places where history feels distant. And then there’s Georgia—where it keeps quietly rewriting itself.

📢This is BIG: New scientific research published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences confirms what many here have long felt: Georgia is one of the world’s oldest centers of bread wheat origin.

Based on 8,000-year-old findings from Gadachrili and Shulaveri Gora, the study shows that bread wheat (Triticum aestivum) emerged independently during the Neolithic period — not just arriving here, but beginning here.

This is the earliest physical evidence of bread wheat discovered anywhere in the world. And yet, this story isn’t only about the past.
It’s still alive in the fields.

Georgia holds an extraordinary diversity of wheat — 15 of the world’s known species grow here, including several endemic varieties found nowhere else like Zanduri, Makha, Dika. These grains have adapted over millennia to harsh climates, poor soils, and sudden weather shifts — carrying resilience that feels increasingly relevant today.

What was once everyday practice is now global heritage. In 2025, UNESCO recognized “Georgian Wheat Culture: Traditions and Rituals” as Intangible Cultural Heritage — not just for the grains themselves, but for the entire cycle around them: sowing, harvesting, baking, and sharing bread as part of daily life and belief.

Today, farmers, researchers, and communities are working together to revive these ancient grains — protecting biodiversity, restoring land, and carrying forward a tradition that has shaped both land and identity for over 8,000 years.

Bread, in Georgia, is never just bread.
It’s a quiet continuity between earth, people, and time.

Here’s a list of the festivals we love this season🍷 the ones we return to, again and again.

There’s something about gathering around natural wine in Georgia that feels both ancient and completely alive. In May, for three days, the country comes together to celebrate the new vintage, the people behind it, and a culture that runs deep. Still, it’s never really about the event itself - it’s about the people, and the stories you take with you. See you there on May 1-2 at Zero Compromise in Radiocity and May 3 at Saamuri Fabrika and Iago’s Winery in Chardakhi.

And while festivals come and go — cellar doors stay open. Meet the winemakers in their own cellars, all year round with Living Roots.
