About The Event
AN AUTHENTIC CAUCASIAN CELEBRATION

31 DECEMBER | NEW YEAR | SVANETI
A NEW YEAR AT THE TOP OF THE CAUCASUS
Created for those who want to experience Georgia beyond the usual tourist routes, we’ve designed this journey to combine comfort, winter adventure, breathtaking mountain landscapes and authentic Georgian traditions.
From the dramatic canyons and caves of western Georgia, we journey deep into the snow-covered mountains of Svaneti, where ancient stone towers rise above remote valleys and the Caucasus feels untouched by time. Discover the legendary village of Ushguli, explore the heart of Mestia and travel through the mountains in 4x4 vehicles, reaching places that reveal a different side of Georgia in winter.
And then comes the celebration.
Welcome the New Year the Georgian way — around a traditional Supra, surrounded by Georgian wine, local food, music, stories and the warmth of Georgian hospitality. Led by a Tamada, this is far more than a festive dinner; it is a cultural experience and a chance to celebrate together as guests become part of a centuries-old tradition.
