“Guests are sent by God.” — and  Georgia means it.

Georgia isn’t just a place you visit — it’s a feeling that follows you home. Between the mountain air, the table toasts, and the way strangers turn into family overnight, Georgia has a way of stealing your heart… and never giving it back.

Here are 10 traditions that capture the soul of this country — timeless, beautiful, and a little bit addictive.

🍷 1. The Supra — A Feast of Soul
A Georgian feast isn’t just about food — it’s a ceremony of emotion. The tamada (toastmaster) leads heartfelt toasts to love, friendship, and ancestors. You’ll laugh, cry, and eat enough khachapuri to feed a small village.

🍇 2. Wine in Clay Qvevri
Forget fancy bottles — Georgians have been making wine in giant clay pots buried underground for 8,000 years. Each sip tastes like earth, history, and home.

💃 3. Polyphonic Singing
Imagine voices weaving together like threads of sunlight and shadow. Georgian folk songs are ancient, haunting, and recognized by UNESCO as world treasures.

☀️ 4. Sunday Family Lunch
In Georgia, Sunday isn’t for errands — it’s for gathering. Generations sit around one table, stories flow, and no one leaves hungry (or sober).

🧀 5. Sharing Salt and Bread
A traditional welcome that means: you are now one of us. Georgians believe sharing food binds souls — not just friendships.

🏔️ 6. The Mountain Code of Svaneti
In the highlands, hospitality is sacred. If you arrive unannounced, you’re still treated like royalty. Refusing food or shelter? Practically a crime.

💍 7. Weddings That Last for Days
Dancing, singing, and endless wine. Georgian weddings blend ancient rituals with unfiltered joy. You haven’t partied until you’ve been to one.

🔥 8. Toasting to the Departed
Every Supra honors those who came before. It’s not somber — it’s love across time. In Georgia, memory lives in every glass raised.

🎭 9. Tbilisoba — The City’s Birthday Bash
Every autumn, Tbilisi throws itself a festival of color, food, and music. Locals dress in traditional chokha, vendors fill the streets, and the city feels alive in every heartbeat.

🌸 10. The Art of Slowing Down
Georgians don’t rush. They savor — meals, moments, conversations. Maybe that’s why travelers fall in love here: time itself feels softer.
