It is a little city in the east side of Georgja, one of the center of Kakheti region (land of wine) Red clay roof and wooden balcony houses - typical of Georgian architecture makes you feel special and you can guess why is it called city of love. You can find a wedding house there which functions 24/7. You can find wine, love and beauty in every corner of the city. And to say a word about the wall which is all around the city - it is one of the longest in the world, even as it is known the only longer wall than this is wall of China. So, it is one of the best places to visit with your lover one or with your family and friends. Only 2 hours drive from Tbilisi - capital city of Georgia. This location is popular in the summer, but I always prefer to visit during wintertime. It is very peacful there with less people and you can enjoy snow as well.

Although this is a very interesting complex, the highlight for me was the ancient wine cellar with its large vats and the grape trampling troughs. Great views of the valley and buildings dating back to the 4th century. Be prepared for a steep walk, unless you take the bus.
5. David Gareja Monastery

We enjoyed this monastery which is part of a complex of monasteries that are viewed by most as the birthplace of Georgian Christianity, dispite being prevented by two sets of friendly Georgian border guards from climbing further up the mountain beyond the natural spring to the upper monasteries now in Azerbaijan. This restriction proportedly came about after the leader of Georgia visited these upper monastery sites and made a public statement that they are Georgian. As of late September, no one knew when the full complex of monasteries would be reopened from the Georgian access side. So beware of any tour company in Tbilisi that assures you that the entire site is open. And wear good footwear.

7. Tunnel Winery Khareba's
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 217 reviews
Try to imagine a tunnel 7.7 Kilometers in length carved into the rock, filled with the best aging wines of Winery Khareba. You will never before have seen such a phenomenon... The touristic complex offers the opportunity of tasting more than 30 varieties of Winery Khareba's best wines and participation in the cultural activities, such as: Chacha distillation process, Georgian bread baking, Chuchkhela making, grilling meat (Georgian barbeque), harvesting and pressing grapes in Satsnakheli.

A tunnel winery inside the mountain. At the entrance musicians traditionally dressed will welcome you with a Georgian song. Then you will be given a blanket as the temperature inside the tunnel is about 16 degrees. A collection of old wines in the shelve cellars on the walls. In a separate route in the tunnel there are wells in the floor for wine maturity, also used as store places and tables for wine tasting. Outside a view to a large area vineyard at the boundaries of the winery's area. A route inside the nature and areas of vineyards for reaching there. This is the experience. This is the difference from other wineries.

I was familiar with one of their wines beforehand (and it's my favorite wine), so I was really looking forward to seeing where the magic happens and tasting more wines. And I was not disappointed! Our tour guide Mari and tasting guide Natya were great! They explained everything in (pretty decent) English, and answered all our questions. I really enjoyed all the wines in the tasting and can't wait to go back! Thank you!

The shortest route from the capital to Telavi goes through this magnificent mountain pass. Although 1620 m above the sea level is by no means considered very high by local standards, landscapes visible from here are undoubtedly great. Driving in this area requires additional precaution in foggy weather.
