Yerevan to Baku – 14 Days
Uncover the rich cultural heritage and scenic diversity of the South Caucasus on this journey through Azerbaijan, Georgia, and Armenia. This 14-day tour explores the region’s historic capitals—Yerevan, Tbilisi, and Baku. The Caucasus region, situated at the crossroads between Eastern Europe and Western Asia, has long been a meeting point of civilizations, as evidenced by its position along the Silk Road. This area acts as a natural barrier between Eastern Europe and Western Asia, contributing to its unique blend of influences. From the tranquil shores of Lake Sevan to the dramatic peaks of the Caucasus Mountains and the fire temples of Baku, each day offers a new perspective on this fascinating crossroads of civilisations.
Enjoy curated experiences including brandy and wine tastings, artisan workshops, and walking tours through old towns rich in architecture and atmosphere. Soviet-era buildings throughout the region reflect the lasting impact of the Soviet Union and Soviet heritage on local architecture and history. With expert local guides in each country, private transport, and stays in boutique hotels, this tour combines comfort with cultural depth. Whether you’re drawn to history, religion, landscapes, or cuisine, this is a comprehensive introduction to the Caucasus that highlights both shared traditions and unique identities across the three nations.
YEREVAN, TBILISI & BAKU CITY HIGHLIGHTS: Explore the vibrant capitals of Armenia, Georgia, and Azerbaijan with a guided city tour and sightseeing tour in each city. Walk through Yerevan’s lively boulevards, discover Tbilisi’s charming Old Town, and uncover Baku’s walled city and modern flair. Each capital offers unique architecture, cultural landmarks, and a blend of old-world charm with contemporary life, including visits to a national museum.
UNESCO HERITAGE SITES OF THE CAUCASUS: Visit remarkable UNESCO-listed world heritage sites and historical monuments across all three countries. From Zvartnots and Haghpat in Armenia to Mtskheta in Georgia and Gobustan in Azerbaijan, this tour provides deep insight into the region’s religious, architectural, and archaeological treasures, including some of the oldest towns and well-preserved medieval buildings, that tell stories of centuries-old civilisations and spiritual traditions.
CAUCASUS WINE & BRANDY TASTING EXPERIENCES: Enjoy exclusive tastings at Voskevaz Winery in Armenia, a historic wine estate in Georgia, and sample ARARAT brandy in Yerevan. Learn about ancient winemaking traditions, including Georgia’s use of clay vessels (Kvevri), and savour local varieties in picturesque vineyard settings throughout your journey. Enhance your culinary experience by dining at a local restaurant and sharing a traditional meal with a local family. Participate in artisan workshops, visit numerous art studios, and browse souvenir shops for unique local crafts.
SCENIC LANDSCAPES & MOUNTAIN PASSES: Travel through diverse and dramatic landscapes—from Lake Sevan’s blue waters to the alpine forests of Dilijan, the Greater Caucasus near Stepantsminda, and Azerbaijan’s mud volcanoes. With every turn, discover why the Caucasus is one of the world’s most visually stunning and geographically varied regions.
