Kakheti (Wine Country) Travel Guide: Qvevri cellars, lazy lunches and golden valleys.
Kakheti is Georgia’s wine heartland. We mix family‑run cellars with monasteries, scenic lookouts and long supra‑style lunches that go late into the afternoon.

Sights & Cellars
Sighnaghi’s hilltop walls and Alazani Valley views pair well with a cellar visit and a long, relaxed lunch.
Alaverdi Monastery and the nearby producers show how qvevri wine is made — clay, patience and time.
Harvest tip
September–October is hands‑on — grape picking, pressing and tastings with winemakers.
