Georgia's romantic register runs through its wine culture, its landscape, and its extraordinary hospitality tradition. The Kakheti wine region in the east — ancient qvevri wine estates, vine-covered guesthouses, and a harvest season (rtveli) in October when the entire valley smells of crushed grape — is the specific Georgian romantic experience that deserves more international attention. The Svaneti highland towers by evening, with the snow peaks of the Greater Caucasus behind them and a traditional Georgian dinner of churchkhela and badrijani in a stone guesthouse, is a honeymoon register that no Western European mountain resort can replicate. A proposal at the Gergeti Trinity Church above Kazbegi, with Kazbek glacier visible behind it, is a photograph and a memory simultaneously. No rush.
