Kakheti is one of the most beautiful regions of Georgia, famous for its Kakhetian amber wines and beautiful scenery. The Alazani Valley, located between two mountain ranges and offering breathtaking views of the Greater Caucasus, is a truly special place. Kakheti is home to charming towns, beautiful national parks, and a rich tradition of winemaking — making it an ideal destination for wine tours in Georgia and unforgettable wine tasting experiences. Kakheti is also an interesting place for adventure seekers and nature lovers.
David Gareja
David Gareja, located in the Kakheti region near the town of Sagarejo, is a very special place with historical monasteries and stunning views. This area is famous for the so-called Rainbow Mountains, and many people visit specifically to see them. On the way to the Rainbow Mountains, you can enjoy views of almond and walnut plantations, as well as pass by a former Soviet military village called Udabno, which once housed Soviet soldiers but fortunately no longer does. In that village, you can find several cafes offering good food.
Sighnaghi
Sighnaghi is a small town perched on a hill overlooking the winemaking Alazani Valley. In Sighnaghi, you can enjoy a rich wine tasting experience at excellent wineries like Okros Wines, Pheasant's Tears and Cradle of Wine making it ideal for private wine tours and relaxing wine experiences. The town is also home to numerous small hotels with beautiful views.
Vashlovani National Park
Another national park located in Kakheti is Vashlovani. Vashlovani National Park is arguably the most beautiful and diverse in the region. Some parts of the park resemble an African safari, and it is home to Caucasian gazelles, which can often be seen running through the Samukhe Valley.
Telavi
Telavi, the administrative center of the region, is a charming town with many restaurants and cozy hotels. Restaurants like Badia and Zodiaqo serve delicious local cuisine, while hotels such as Communal Telavi, Seventeen Rooms, and Tela provide a pleasant stay. Villages around Telavi — including Shalauri, Kisiskhevi, and Tsinandali — are also worth exploring for their excellent wineries, boutique hotels, and local restaurants, making them great additions to personalized or private wine tours.
Lagodekhi National Park
Lagodekhi National Park represents the humid, subtropical side of Kakheti. Unlike the rest of the region, it features abundant rivers and lush vegetation. You can embark on a three-day trek to Black Rocks Lake or opt for one-day hikes to Gurgeniani or Rocho Waterfalls, adding some nature exploration to your wine tours in Georgia.
Tusheti
The most beautiful mountainous part of Kakheti is Tusheti. Although officially part of Kakheti, Tusheti feels like a separate world. It is Georgia’s most remote region, accessible by a difficult and dangerous road open only five months a year — otherwise, it can be reached by helicopter. The main village is Omalo, but visitors should also explore Dartlo, Girevi, and Vestomta. The untouched landscapes and ancient villages make Tusheti a perfect complement for travelers seeking both adventure and a unique cultural and wine experience.
