Hotels in Kakheti

Why stay in Kakheti?

Kakheti is Georgia's wine country, and what most Israelis know as 'the winery day trip from Tbilisi' is really a whole valley that deserves at least a night or two. Sighnaghi, the 'city of love', sits on an 18th-century wall overlooking the Alazani Valley and the snow-capped Caucasus; Telavi is the working capital with its bazaar, fortress and estates; and between Kvareli and Lopota lie the lake resorts Israeli families return to summer after summer. In between: qvevri wineries with an eight-thousand-year tradition, hilltop monasteries, a supra where the tamada raises a glass in your honor, and churchkhela sold from roadside stalls.
