Tbilisi Arrival Guide

There’s a particular energy to Tbilisi that’s hard to capture in a guidebook-a mix of ancient tradition, post-Soviet hustle, and overwhelming hospitality. The Tbilisi Podcast, brought to you by the team behind Eat This! Food & Wine Tours Georgia, digs into that energy. It’s a conversation about what it’s really like to navigate life here, whether you're passing through or putting down roots. You’ll hear practical advice on neighborhoods to explore, hidden culinary gems, and the nuances of Georgian wine that go far beyond a simple tasting note. But this podcast goes deeper than the typical travel tips. It also tackles the realities of building a life in Georgia, covering topics like obtaining tax residency or starting a local business, all explained through firsthand experience. Regular conversations with experts illuminate the layers of the culture, from the profound history of winemaking stretching back millennia to the resonant power of polyphonic singing and the stories etched into both ancient architecture and Soviet-era buildings. Each episode feels like a chat with a well-connected friend who’s eager to share not just the what, but the why, behind this fascinating corner of the world. Tune in for an authentic, wide-ranging audio journey into the heart of the Caucasus.
