Hotels in Kakheti, Georgia

Kakheti is Georgia's eastern wine region, famous for its 8,000-year-old winemaking tradition and the Alazani Valley's endless vineyards. Summers here are hot, often hitting 86°F (30°C), perfect for cycling between family-run wineries and swimming in the Alazani River, while winters drop to 32°F (0°C) and bring snow to the Tusheti mountains-a great time for hiking to the 5th-century Nekresi monastery or tasting qvevri-aged wines in a cozy cellar. You can also explore David Gareja monastery carved into cliffs on the Azerbaijan border, a must-see sunrise spot in spring or fall when crowds are thin and temperatures sit around 59°F (15°C).
