Lost Ridge Inn is Living Roots Travel’s own eco-retreat in Eastern Georgia (Kakheti, near Sighnaghi), opened in 2018 as a joint venture with MIR Corporation. It unites a boutique six-room hotel, a three-barrel craft microbrewery, an outdoor fire kitchen, a horse ranch and a terrace cafe.

The on-site brewery produces small batches of Belgian-inspired Tripels, Farmhouse Saisons and Pacific Northwest-style IPAs, making it a distinctive stay for guests exploring the wine and horseback-riding country of Kakheti.

What's good

  • Unique on-site craft microbrewery
  • Boutique eco-stay with horse ranch and fire kitchen

Trade-offs

  • Only six rooms, so capacity is limited
  • Remote rural location in Kakheti
