Kakheti is one of Georgia’s largest regions and is the richest wine-making region. Located in the east of Georgia, Kakheti boasts magnificent views of the majestic Caucasus mountains, historic castles, ancient churches, the vast Alazani Valley filled with vineyards of varying sizes, warm-hearted, hospitable people and like everywhere in Georgia, delicious food.
In Kakheti you will find everything from commercial wine factories to small, family cellars in which wine is made in a huge clay vessel called a Qvevri.
Georgia is also famous for the number of different types of grapes that are endemic to the region and you can taste types of grapes in Georgia which you will not find anywhere else in the world.
Kakheti is one of the most beautiful areas of Georgia. Its stunning landscapes include the snow-covered Caucasus mountains with peaks reaching heights of 4500 metres, towering above the incredibly fertile valleys, fields and even semi-desert areas of Dedopolitskaro and Sagarejo. Its variety of climates, altitudes and landscapes make it an ideal place for hiking, biking and trekking.
Although Kakheti is not far from the capital, Tbilisi, we recommend that you spend a couple of nights in Kakheti so that you can truly enjoy all that Kakheti has to offer; whether this is wine-tasting, history or hiking.
Kakheti has accommodation to suit all pockets from five-star hotels to hostels or home-stays. Travel Eurasia can help you to find the right option.
