Additional Information

We welcome you to join us at our distinct event, ‘Georgian Ethnos’. In a brief span of half a day, you’ll experience the essence of Georgia through traditional dances, music, and feasting. This in-depth dive could teach you more about Georgia than what an unassisted traveller may discover in many days or weeks. Upon return to your homeland, you’ll have more than just great memories and atmospheric photographs to share; you’ll also have skills in Georgian dance, the making of khinkali and khachapuri, and the recitation of inspired toasts.

Ethno Museum:

Our exploration of Georgian culture begins with a visit to the only hands-on weapons museum in Tbilisi. The museum’s director, a renowned ethno-guide and historian, will give us a guided tour of his personal artifacts collection, all unearthed within Georgia itself. Moreover, you’ll get to learn lesser-known historical facts about the Middle Ages from an ancient history enthusiast. Donned in traditional Georgian clothing, you also get the opportunity to participate in a photo shoot.

dream trip, magical place, good people - The best thing that could happen to me in Tbilisi is the excursion "Georgian ethnos". It all started with a walk around the city, then an interactive lecture and a photo session in the museum of traditional Georgian costumes. Then we got to the center of Georgian folk dances, where we were taught in an hour and a half, and it was not just some kind of master class, but a specific training in Georgian dances. Now I know how to make the right movements, and not just wave my hands😊 The third location of this event was a Georgian-style party. We found ourselves in an unusually warm atmosphere, visiting a Georgian family, where they were already waiting for us and arranged a generous Georgian feast for us. I have not experienced such emotions for a very long time. We sang, we drank, we danced. We were taught how to make toasts, how to drink wine from a horn, and we were also taught how to properly prepare Georgian khinkali. Thank you so much for the experience you bring to your guests. If you want to start your acquaintance with Georgia in the right way, be sure to go to this event.
