Getting to know the beautiful Kakheti⬇️
Kakheti is an amazing region of Georgia, which, thanks to its incredible architecture and delicious treats, has become famous among tourists.
Another “attraction" is the local wine. It's amazing here!
It is in Kakheti that Sighnaghi and the Alazani Valley are located. Dizzying landscapes open up from different points here. This region definitely deserves your attention.
Distance from Tbilisi to Kakheti — how to get there
The easiest and most convenient way is personal transport. Buses run very rarely here. Another option is to take it to Sighnaghi, and then — by car with a guide.
The distance from the capital to Sighnaghi is 110 km, from the capital to Telavi — 100 km (due to the steep serpentine, the trip time will greatly increase), and from Telavi to Sighnaghi it is quite possible to get there in two hours by bus.
There is another way to Kakheti — from Kazbegi. The road here is much more convenient and better, although it is 60 km longer. The total length of the path is 240 km.
From Tbilisi to Kakheti by public transport
There are several buses from Isani Metro Station to Kakheti.
To the town of Tsnori, which is located near Sighnaghi (ticket costs 6 lari = 145 rubles);
In Telavi (169 rubles);
In Kvareli (193-241 rubles)
The bus runs from Telavi to Sighnaghi only once (in the morning).

What route can be built
If your trip lasts about two days, then on the first day we suggest you stop by Telavi, after which you will go to the lakes in Nekresi. Here you can admire the beauty of nature and taste the extraordinary Kakheti wine. You can spend the night in Sighnaghi.
Take a walk around the city at night, have dinner at a local restaurant. It is better to start the morning with a tour of the city, which will definitely surprise you. Next, we recommend visiting the famous Bodbe Monastery. Here you can not only enjoy nature, but also stay in silence and escape from the hustle and bustle of the city.
After that, we suggest you go to the cave complex, which is located near the border with Azerbaijan. The place is truly amazing! Rocks, wall inscriptions in different languages. And after a busy day, you can go to Tbilisi.
If you have less than two days, we recommend booking an excursion and visiting all the memorable places together with an experienced guide.
Wine tour to Kakheti
Kakheti is famous not only for its vast nature, but also for the local wine production. There are many grape plantations, wineries, cellars and museums. Hospitable Georgians will be happy to show all the charms of the area.
Almost all tours include a visit to one of the most popular factories — Kindzmarauli Marani. One of the most interesting things to do here is to watch the making of the drink.
Another interesting place is Tsinandali. It is famous not only because of the drink. Once a famous Georgian poet lived here and now his house-museum along with a wine cellar is located here.
The last place to visit, but not the most important, is the Gwirabi tunnel (a warehouse of various types of wine). There is a restaurant on the rock, offering an insanely beautiful view of the Alazani Valley.
Telavi and Sighnaghi
Telavi is the capital of Kakheti. Most of the attractions are located near this city. An incredibly beautiful, hospitable city with the aroma of Georgian wine and treats.
Sighnaghi is a city of love. Why was he called that? This is the only city in the country where the registry office works 24 hours a day. In addition, a famous Georgian artist who lived in this city gave his beloved a million roses.
In Kakheti and other regions of the country there are a huge number of ancient sights, mysterious structures and interesting stories. You can come back here countless times and always find something new.

Именно в Кахетии выращивают виноград и делают вина Сигнахи и Алазанская долина. Эти сорта вин можно встретить на полках супермаркетах. Также есть очень богата природа, открываются просто невероятные пейзжи!
Давным-давно жил город, люди в котором погрязли во грехе и не вершили ничего кроме зла, тогда господь решил наказать людей и приказал одному из ангелов уничтожить город.
Ангел по имени Сигнахи ослушался приказа, и вместо этого он заходил в каждый дом, оставляя там кусочек своего сердца. Каждый житель был наполнен неземной любовью сполна, пока ангел не стал опустошен и не исчез.
Господь, заметив содеянное, не обнаружил в городе ни одного злого сердца, которое бы не раскаивалось. Он простил город, воскресил ангела и приказал ему вечно хранить доброту и любовь в городе.
С тех пор все жители живут в гармонии, а каждый, кто посетит город, получает кусочек сердца ангела, таким образом сохраняя и приумножая любовь и добродетель в мире.
Считается, если каждый житель мира посетит этот город, то на земле наступит рай.
