Moreover, foreigners are not only interested in the capital of Georgia or Batumi as most popular destinations. Other regions of the country are also gaining growing popularity among tourists. This is especially true for Kakheti. According to Sakstat, the average number of visitors to this region in the third quarter of 2019 reached 96.9 thousand. For comparison, over the same period last year, this figure was at the level of 75.2 thousand people.

Kakheti – dizziest region in Georgia  

Kakheti is highly attractive destination for tourists. After all, this is the most remarkable wine-growing region in Georgia. Here, vineyards grow in a unique climatic zone that emerged in the valley of the Alazani and Iori rivers, at an altitude of 400-700 m above sea level on humus- carbonate, black and alluvial soils.

Of the 18 wines that are of Georgian origin, 14 are produced in Kakheti. We are talking about: Tsinandali, Gurjaani, Vazisubani , Manavi , Kardanakhi , Tibaani , Kakheti , Kotekhi , Napareuli, Mukuzani, Teliani , Kindzmarauli, Akhasheni and Kvareli . All these wines are made from such popular grape varieties as Rkatsiteli, Kahuri Mtsvane ( Kakhetin Green), Kisi , Khikhvi , Budeshuri , Mtsvivana, Sapena , Kunsi , Saperavi, Cabernet Sauvignon, Tavkveri and Ikalto Red. But the most common variety for the region is Saperavi.

Wine in Kakheti is made according to traditional Georgian technology, which dates back to several thousand years. The key stage of the winemaking process is the pressing of grapes with further storage of the wort in special containers called “qvevri”. In addition to the traditional Georgian method, wine is made in Kakheti using traditional European technology as well.

It should also be noted that the tourism development strategy in Georgia provides for the establishment and state support of the Wine Road tourist route, which will include familiarization of travelers with 46 wine cellars and factories of the country. And taking into account the specifics of Kakheti, it can be safely assumed that the principal part of this Route will lay through this region.
