Visit Kakheti Region in Georgia
Explore Kakheti - Georgia’s well-known premier wine-producing region. Located in eastern Georgia, the city is known for its hospitality: you’ll be invited for a glass of wine no matter where you go, thus it is easy to find yourself wandering about town in a semi-permanent mellow haze. Kakheti is a wine lover's paradise and offers a great opportunity to taste various types of wine made of selected fruit.
Although the region might not be that well known in the west, it boosts some of the finest varietals in the world. The region is also rich in history as it was an independent or semi-independent kingdom for quite a long period of time.
