Kakheti is an area of great interest as a wine destination (being the region with the greatest variety of wine in Georgia), as well as for its enchanting landscape and gastronomic flair.

Wine production in Georgia dates back to the Bronze Age and, it is said, the word wine, or vin, is derived from the Georgian ღვინო…‘gvino’.

Georgia’s traditional wine making method of fermenting grapes in earthenware, egg-shaped vessels has been added to the world heritage list of the United Nations educational, scientific and cultural organisation (UNESCO).
