Where is the best place to stay in Kakheti?
Sighnaghi, Telavi, Kvareli and winery stays.
Short answer
In Kakheti most people stay in Sighnaghi for its Alazani valley views and small-town charm, or in Telavi, a convenient base for monasteries and wineries. Kvareli and the Lake Lopota area suit a resort-style break. A special option is a guesthouse at a family winery, with dinner and tastings included.
Why
- Accommodation in Sighnaghi costs more than in Telavi.
- During rtveli, in September and October, book well ahead.
- Without a car, Telavi or Sighnaghi are easiest, with minibus links.
Details
For two or three days, split your nights between Sighnaghi and Telavi. A winery stay is especially rewarding in autumn during the harvest.
Tip
To join the grape harvest, book a winery guesthouse for September well in advance.
What may differ
Prices are higher during harvest and at weekends, and lower on weekdays and in winter.
