5. Kakheti
Even though almost every household in Georgia has grapes and many families make their own wine, Georgia does have a particular wine region called Kakheti. This area covers the entire east of Georgia, and its most famous town is Telavi, an epicentre of wineries and tasting possibilities. There’s proof that Georgia’s winemaking history goes back more than 8000 years, and some wineries still work according to old methods. Taste the qvevri wines, aged and fermented in large earthenware jars with all ingredients of the grape kept inside.
6. Tusheti National Park
Tusheti National Park is part of the Caucasus mountain range, which is shared by Russia and Georgia. With its green valleys, nerve-wracking roads over mountain passes, and typical fortified towers, Tusheti is a feast for the eyes.
