Episode 25: How Wine and Group Travel Built Community in Georgia (Trip Recap)
Laura sits down with Mea, Melissa, and Erik to relive their recent Georgia trip—a country most Americans can't locate on a map but one that holds 8,000 years of winemaking history and hospitality so intense it borders on aggressive kindness. This episode goes behind the Instagram photos to reveal what really happened: the chaotic wine harvest that turned into grape-stomping mayhem, topless sulfur bath bonding on day one, shotgunning wine from roof tiles, and enough khachapuri to induce permanent cheese comas.
Beyond the wild stories, this conversation explores why this particular group developed the strongest bond Laura has witnessed across nearly 30 group trips, and what makes Georgia such a transformative destination for travelers willing to venture off the beaten path.
