Kakheti

Covering an area of approximately 11,311 square kilometers, Kakheti is known for its vineyards. With over 70% of the country's vineyards located here, its vineyards are a testament to this heritage. With around 38,000 hectares of vineyards and over 500 varieties of grapes, it's a wine enthusiast's dream.

Don't miss the opportunity to partake in a wine tour and tasting, and maybe even stomp grapes in a qvevri, the traditional Georgian clay wine vessel. But Kakheti offers much more than just wine. The region is home to the famous Alaverdi Monastery, where traditional winemaking methods dating back to the 6th century are still practiced. 

Beyond its viticultural excellence, Kakheti is steeped in history. You can explore the ancient city of Telavi, the region's administrative center, where the Kakhetian kings once ruled. Telavi boasts notable landmarks like the Batonis Tsikhe Fortress and the Gremi Monastery, both harking back to the medieval era. 

The region is home to the stunning Alazani River Valley, set against the backdrop of the Greater Caucasus Mountains. In Lagodekhi National Park, you can embark on hiking adventures through lush forests and explore cascading waterfalls. The landscapes offer endless opportunities for outdoor activities, from horseback riding to birdwatching.
