Kakheti

Kakheti is the largest region in Georgia and particularly famous for its luminous wines, postcard-perfect scenery and friendly people.

Snowy mountains soar above plains of corn, pomegranate orchards and relentless vineyards, side by side in a wonderful tapestry - and everywhere you go, you’ll be invited to share the perfectly fermented grapes.

History

Kakheti is also rich in history. It was an independent or semi-independent kingdom for long periods and here you’ll find the remarkable monastery complex of Davit Gareja as well as many other beautiful, ancient churches and castles.

Of course, Kakheti has also played an important role in Georgia's history as the cradle of wine, viticulture here having been traced back to VI millennium BC. Scientists believe that the word Ghvino (wine, vin, vine) has Georgian origin.
