What is Kakheti best for?

Wine country by bike or on horseback, the Lagodekhi reserve's waterfalls, and access to the wild Tusheti highlands over the Atsunta Pass.

When is the best time to visit?

Spring and autumn for the vineyards and lower walks — autumn's grape harvest is special — while the Tusheti trek is only feasible from roughly late June to September.

Can I combine wine and trekking?

Yes — Kakheti is ideal for pairing relaxed vineyard days with a serious wilderness trek into Tusheti in a single trip.

Is it beginner-friendly?

The wine-country cycling, riding and walks are gentle beginner activities; the Tusheti crossing is a fitness-dependent multi-day trek, noted on the course page.

Things to do in Kakheti

Kakheti is Georgia's great wine region — a sun-soaked plain of vineyards, monasteries and walled towns spread below the wall of the Greater Caucasus, and the cradle of an 8,000-year winemaking tradition. Behind it lies a wilder secret: the roadless highlands of Tusheti, reached over a spectacular summer-only pass.

Wine roads and wild highlands

Cycle and ride between the wineries and monasteries, walk the waterfalls of the Lagodekhi reserve, and trek the multi-day route over the Atsunta Pass into Tusheti National Park. From vineyard days to serious wilderness, it is all in eastern Georgia — open the Book here tab for dates.
