You step out of the car and the Alazani Valley opens like a broad, living map—rows of vines pushing toward the skyline, hills that throw back light in warm ochre. The air tastes faintly of fermenting grapes and baking bread; a village oven crackles nearby as a local baker guides you through the rhythm of Georgian bread-making.
